Hello!

I am trying to access the Lua scripting abilities of 3.5, but I have no idea how to open the script editor.... I am pretty sure I must be missing something super basic.

I open the designer in Voxatron, and then create a new cartridge. I get the volumetric display with nothing in it, and I can even add one of the two pre-made scripts to the middle of the room, but I have no idea how to open these scripts for editing, or how to create a new one.

Help?

Z/X have no function other than continuing through the intro, level up, victory, and game over screens.

This is my first game complete enough to share here!

edit: small bug fix on victory screen

The Amazon Fire TV and Fire Stick have simple remotes and their applications can be little more than web applications.

An example of the remote: https://developer.amazon.com/docs/fire-tv/remote-input.html (also includes relevant docs for Fire TV.)

Using the Internet browser within my Fire Stick "works" for PICO-8, but appears to use a touch screen interface. I am forced to use my remote to drive around a virtual finger to either use directional buttons or press the fire/jump buttons. This isn't a functional interface when using a remote.

Personally, I'd be willing to pay money to get Splore as an app on my Fire stick instead of having to deal with the web interface at all. The remote should work really well for these games, and it would be great to play them on my projector.

Slimes, Corruption, and Skeletons, oh my

This was a level that I've been working on for a while; currently unfinished but I'll upload the finial product before I stop working on it.
The starting area was made to highlight the mostly finished parts of the game, which include: the abandoned factory, the slime encounter, the corrupted weapon's core encounter, and the skeleton encounter. The starting area will be removed in the final game, and the levels will be played in sequential order.

Edit: In this minor update, I have removed many bugs, while also trying to improve many other things.
I don't have an exact list of everything I did (someone got rid of it while I wasn't looking). Many of the bugs were things that happened in the abandoned factory. I also added some visual flair in the corrupted mines.

Update 1-1-19:
Happy New Year! I made a few more improvements to the karaoke animation so the text scrolls more smoothly, the currently sung line is highlighted by a drop shadow as the ball slides across it. After more testing it looks like the code for tracking elapsed ticks is working great on all platforms. (except if you navigate away from PICO-8, there seem to be issues but it appears to affect other carts too not just mine?)

Still chipping away at sound design and _update() sections of my other projects. Little by little, they're going somewhere, or so I'm telling myself.

But this season hit some high traffic at work, as expected, so in light of having any real concentration-allowing downtime, I started visuals on what I'm hoping may turn into a "fundamentalist Terraria" project I'm simply calling Terra.

This little 32x16 chunk; sprites 126-127, is the biome metamap which defines the whole 416-screen world:

While some of these screens will be packed solid, or have little notches of ore carved out of them, a good chunk of screens will also be tunneled/mapped by applying variants of these other (lower end) tiles; often meant to mash in some treasure hunting and world structure. I'll probably also have to use some manual scripting to input minecart tracks and space for their use.

The top section is the player and basic objects/platforms in the game, and the middle section is enemies/creatures. I'll probably put some more "player head" variants in there for humanoid enemy types. I'm hoping to make four boss creatures, one for each corner of the map area (??); and maybe a 3-minute day/3-minute night cycle. Something you can mash through in a 15-30 minute sitting, but still full of surprises and exploration, you know?

Hello,
Can you allow cli arguments to voxatron like pico8, atleast loading the cart file?

Hi all,
I'm what can be called a pico-8 player: I've written something by myself in this years but I love pico-8 for the neverending streams of "bathroom games" made by talentous people here. ( I thank all of you, i rediscovered the joy of playing this type of games).
The problem here is that the mobile player is giving me some serious issues:

NOKIA 6 2018
ANDROID 9

CHROME:

Can't go fullscreen, it's completely broken

FIREFOX:

Can't go fullscreen either

When pressing buttons, after the canonic 3 seconds the button remain highlighted ( and sometimes pressed)

I cannot play anymore on my phone, and this is making quite a bit sad.
I've some experience in javascript and html and I can try to fix it, if @zep give me his authorization.
Let me know, I don't wanna wait till my tiny pi pro!

Wow. PICO-8 is extremely fun to work with, and I'm so happy I stuck around to learn how to use it!

Right now I'm learning how to work with tables and 'objects' to sort of port a game I'm currently developing called HellHole. It's a top-down shooter where you choose between controlling your body or the bullet (which is your soul).

So far, I've managed to not slow down the game with a shit ton of instances and that makes me happy!

I'll leave you with a gif of the latest bit of progress: A spawner, soul particles, and screen-shake.

The function peek4() does not properly check its number of arguments, so calling it with no arguments will cost zero cycles. Combined with any other function that costs fewer cycles than its number of arguments, such as shl(), this can be exploited to reclaim CPU cycles.

Here is a function that reclaims n cycles:

function reclaim(n)
  for i=0,n/5 do
    shl(peek4(),peek4())shl(peek4(),peek4())
    shl(peek4(),peek4())shl(peek4(),peek4())
    shl(peek4(),peek4())shl(peek4(),peek4())
  end
end

I do not know to what extent this can be exploited, but here is an example.

The following program runs at 15 FPS:

function _draw()
  for y=0,127 do
   m=3+rnd()
   for x=0,127 do pset(x,y,(x+7)*m%5) end
  end
  print(stat(7).." fps",1,1,7)
end

But this one runs at 30 FPS:

function _draw()
  for y=0,127 do
   m=3+rnd()
   for x=0,127 do pset(x,y,(x+7)*m%5) end
   reclaim(200)
  end
  print(stat(7).." fps",1,1,7)
end

For ethical reasons a vegan mode is included and can be activated via the settings.
(However we promise in our production and testing phase no animals were harmed.)

Feel free to comment and write us critics etc, as we are still learning and this is our first project.

I have started measuring function costs precisely, because I like accurate things. It’s all on the wiki but not fully complete.

Here are a few funny things I already learned:

• <code>x^.5</code> costs 16 cycles, whereas <code>sqrt(x)</code> costs 27
• <code>x^4</code> costs 8 cycles, but <code>x*x*x*x</code> only costs 3

Some of these, such as clipped <code>circ()</code>, are pretty tricky to measure, I hope someone can help!

Edit: removed claim about shl() because that function behaves a bit differently.

8 DAYS | RANDOM GENERATED GAME TITLE | PICO 8

Confusing Prison Mansion and what we did with the title.

This prison is so boring. I mean what are you supposed to do with all this free time.
Read books? No… and the interior as well. It‘s so lame. Could do with some color and nice new furniture.
To be honest I‘d rather be in a mansion right now.
Collecting keys, opening doors and stepping on that mysterious light spot might help with that.
Oh, and don’t get caught by the cop!

Confusing Prison Mansion is a challenging puzzle adventure created by three tired Students. For the first ever game we created, we had the challenge of using a random game title. We generated our game title with The Video Game Name GeneratorThe Video Game Name Generator.

Hope you enjoy our game.
