about

After trying to make raycasting the wrong way, I came up with this method.
I really don't know if thats the correct way of doing it. My idea was to have rays being shot from the player, when they hit a wall the stop and draw a line in the center at the screen + index of the ray, also the further away the ray went, the smaller the line will be. So that make a pretty good illusion of 3d in a 2d space. You can poke around with the values like the field of vision, amount of samples taken (rays shot), the stretch of the screen and many other.

But I am having this fisheye issue. I guess you noticed that the prespectiv isn't always correct. sometimes it gets this weird round edges. I dont really know how to fix that. Also I dont know how to have walls with diffrent colors, or have a wall which is red on the left side a dark red on the right.

thanks for your interest

hello

This is my absolute first attempt at making anything 3d or 3d looking.

I want to learn the math behind 3d graphics in Pico 8, not the crazy ones, but the very simple ones, I am thinking of making a game kinda like in voxatron, with a static camera and a platform. I dont even want voxels, just 2d sprites. I tried using tline, and I just messed arount until it got to something.
I would be very happy if someone showed me any sources for basic Pico 8 3d, or cool things done with tline.

Thanks for checking this out :)

I love Pico 8, so I tried Picotron and I love it.
You can Collect gems forever.
If you change auto to true in the code editor you can use it as a screensaver.

help with player colliding with player

Thu, 18 Apr 2024 18:18:56 UTC

hello,

So Im making a kinda rpg-topdown-engine-game-thing and I want to have the function for the player to collide with other players. so it looks like this:

But here is the problem!
You see, the player checks if the tile he is about to go to is a wall or another player, if so he goes back (doesn't move). seems ok, right?
NO
players are stored in a big table players={} and the checking process is done in a foreach loop. So when the player below moves up, he sees that there is someone above, he doesn't move, but the upper one moves. Its hard to explain look:

did you see it? when I pressed down only the bottom player moved. Because the upper one (index 1) checks first and sees that there is a player below him, no move. then the bottom one checks and moves.
How can I fix this?

If you have any questions for the code or the game feel free to ask.
Thanks for taking your time to read this :)

this game has a nice peel..

controls:

Up and Down = move the knife/stick
hold c = move faster vertically

Lore:

After years of practice this now is the final exam, bob has to make it. After failing school, work and college, his only choice was clear. To eat potatoes, that would make him grow bigger and stronger, or so he thought. Life is hard, it was a constant pressure on him, he could not rest a minute. that's how busy he was, peeling potatoes. The problem was there, bob didn't have a proper peeler, or a knife. He had to use a stick (don't ask how its possible). The potatoes were weird as well, there were only huge ones. In fact, he was standing on the potatoes. But after years of training and hard work, it finally came to him. He knew the perfect job for him. So he applied for a job at peelstation, you know, the place where they make potato games. But here comes the twist. His parents were actually giraffes. But to him, it didn't matter, his goal is clear. He needs to get a 100% on this test, otherwise he isn't the potato master. Just imagine the consecutive, it would be eternal shame. This here is the moment, can YOU make it ?

have a nice time and comment your best score :)

Image...

So I wanted to make PicoChat (from picotron), but with images.
The limit of chars you can send is 256, so that means a 16x16 image with colors.
This method can send a two color image with 32x32. Im not sure if anyone has ever done this.
The way it works is simple, you have a table with 16 combinations of a 1x4 field. Each one has a index.
then the first four pixels are checked for a combination and assigned a index from the table, you can decode it in the same way. I planning to implement it to PicoChat.

you can use this for anything, have a nice day :)

More colors for pico 8

this is only this, check it out on itch...

Colors!

So basically I joined the NOKIA 3310 JAM 6 a few days ago (no pong).
Some of the restrictions you had where the two classic greenish Nokia colors, but the problem was that Pico 8 doesn't have those colors. Lucky for us Pancelor had left us very helpful and detailed instructions, where he covered a buch of thing like changing the thumnail/colors/resolution etc.. Thanks man :)
You should check it out yourself as well nokia html template by pancelor

So Export your game like this "export Your_game.html"
then two files should be exported a name.js and a name.html file
then type in folder, this will open the folder where all your pico 8 stuff is being saved
then I recommend you to drag the two files to your desktop for a better view
Note that if you want to upload your game on itch, you have to rename the .html file to index.html
After doing that You open the Your_game.js file in any texteditor. Now you will see a loooot of numbers, kinda like
that:
You have to find this string using strg + f
There are 2 string You have to replace both!!:

29,43,83,126,37,83,0,135,81,171,82,54,95,87,79,194,195,199,255,241,232 ,255,0,77,255,163,0,255,236,39,0,228,54,41,173,255,131,118,156,255,119,168,255,204,170

They contains rgb values for all the colors from 1 to 15 not 0
Now replace both with any string with 15 rgb colors:
(classic Nokia Colors)
You can use any tool to get those colors, I found a those two: make a palette and a useful color converter: hex to rgb etc...
Extra:

If you want to upload your game up on itch:
Rename your Yourgame.html file to index.html
Zip index.html and Yourgame.js
upload on itch :O

Thanks for reading, If you ever use this trick let me know, have a good day:)

manmon

So basically manmon just really wants to go back to his little house

manmon is his name, and he is a simple guy, all he really wants right now, is to get to his house...
But on the way he lost all his coins, even his special gem. You have to help him to get back and collect all his coins.

Controls

C or up to jump
Down to crouch
Up to use the ladders
nothing to use the bouncy slime blocks

More info and stuff:

So basically I made this game in just a few days, using @Caspians platformer Engine, because I really liked the feeling of the jump
The code is really messy, because I didnt really need any compression, and I wanted to finish it quickly.
Also I made alot of individual tiles to make it better
I could try out some different things I never really did before, because of the size of the game.
Get ALL coins for a bonus ending ;)

thanks to @Caspian for the Engine.

have fun :)

You cant have the circle too close to the middle
