powmine

Pow Mine is a simple SHUMP style game of skill.

The Dark Matter is flowing past, a single touch will END your run.

Use Mining Blaster with Z button and get a Speed Boost with X button.

Collect the Green Pows without getting vaporized by the dark Matter.

Just collect 128 Pow to fill the Pow Bar and win this game.

Note;
The code is just a bodged together mess, that should probably be ignored as a poor example, as I am still working out most simple stuff. Just getting up to speed developing stuff for PICO-8 a very fun dev tool.

full sized map 128x64, with step-time movement,.

not much to do yet, Z randomizes the forest, . X triggers a sound for testing.

if you move over a seed (smallest objects) the GUI text shows what you are effecting,.
context sensitive controls to be added,. . Take Seed, Drop Seed, Eat Seed,. etc.
should lead to some map manipulation style gameplay eventually.., forest management?

more to come,.

gamepad function on different systems

Sun, 26 Apr 2015 12:22:46 UTC

I was playing some of the cartridges last night on my TV, running Chrome on Android 4.4 on the Tronsmart Orion R28 hardware (RK3288 chip),. I had a XBOX 360 USB wired gamepad plugged in. The controllers Left Analog stick AND the D-pad functioned well,. however the only button that worked was the Back button would go back a web page ending the game. It would be great if the action buttons could be mapped as well,. since the browser supports fullscreen and the games play well.

I just tried the 360 controler on my win7 PC and running on Chrome I get no gamepad support,. however running the actual Pico-8 I get movement with the Left Analog Stick and the Action Buttons are mapped and work,. however the D-pad does not work,.

The Argus is watching all, always,. .

(small graphic/sound test)

loving the hard limits of this system,.

except the color limit, can we currently peek/poke to dynamically alter the colors in the 16 ?
I like the limit of 16 palette,. however would rather be able to change these sometimes., all greens or blues,. cycle one, etc.

very cool system otherwise.
