The little pause/play button on the BBS player will pause and play the cart if you click it, but if you press the "enter" key on the dialogue to either continue or reset the cart, the pause/play button doesn't change (it should go back to the pause icon, but it remains as the play icon).
Here is a lil' cart to test it out real quick:
Operating System: Arch Linux.
In "config.txt" if
root_path ./ |
is set, then whenever you try to "cd" within PICO-8, you get a
cd failed |
error message. But if you change the root path to something other than "./", then PICO-8 works fine. It even works fine if you replace the "./" with a "../", which is a bit silly :D. It also works if you delete the "root_path" line.
Here is what the error message looks like:
:D.
EDIT: Ok, cd also doesn't work when you use the "-root_path ./" command-line parameter, but I guess that should have been common sense I guess.
This game was created as part of a class where we learned about game programming. Though basic, it does illustrate several useful functions that assisted me in learning the concepts throughout. Yes, the game is quick and simple; but it's working and taught me a lot!
Gameplay:
Control the mouse to avoid the cat and get the cheese! If you die, you'll start over.
Previous Version: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=31728
What's New
-Player Moves Slower on Stairs.
-Player Sprite Darkens when in Shadows.
-Bridge that can be walked Under and Over.
-An Arrow above the player to distinguish Direction.
-Map has been fleshed out further.
What's to do
-Finish the Map
-Make Sprites for when walking upwards.
-Make actual the actual Game element, a Collectathon.
-Title Screen.
-Audio.
Overall, I've made a load of progress on this recently. Considering how little coding skill and knowledge I have, I'm amazed that this works as well as it does. (Must admit I'm fairly proud of the Bridge) The Arrow was added after the inability to distinguish direction was pointed out by someone in a previous upload I did. As for the Game element, I plan to have collectable items scattered across the map, however they will be in different places each time to make it less predictable. Current, these positions are marked by the Map Pin, however in the final version they'll be items of some kind. Once again, I'd love to hear any criticism and advice you have! Till the next update!
As a fun side-project, I created pico-build. With it, you can build multiple lua files into a single PICO-8 cart. Here's a demo gif showing the usage:
There are a bunch of other great tools that do similar things. You should check them out too: p8, picotool, picobu.
The main things that pico-build does differently from the other tools that I've seen are:
- Formats the separate lua files as tabs within the PICO-8 editor
- Launch/reload cart in PICO-8 and log printh() output in the terminal
I'm using it now for my own projects. If you try it out, let me know how it goes!
I made this game a while ago (it was published on itch.io on the 7th of January 2019), but at the time didn't know about uploading carts to this page, and I have finally taken the time to do it.
You can find it in itch.io here.
Controls:
Use the right arrow key to move right and the left arrow key to move left.
Jump with C or Z.
Enable/disable the timer using X (you can only perform this action while in the titlescreen).
Crossover of Mega Man X + Celeste Classic :)
Controls
Arrows - Move
Left Shift - Dash
Z, C, or N - Jump
X, V, or M - Shoot
Hi! Making a game for my midterm and I liked how this one is coming out.
--hit the bricks to uncover the game logo
--no win screen, but there is a loser screen
--keep the cannonballs coming!

Enjoy! (or not, it's a free country)
COLLABORATION WITH @0x1096d274 !
(if anyone knows how to properly mark a cart as a collaboration please let me know)

A tab character is supposed to move the cursor to the next column that's a multiple of the tab-width setting, but instead it just advances the cursor by tab-width columns every time.
In other words, it currently does this:
function do_tab() cursor_x += tab_width end |
And it should do this:
function do_tab() cursor_x = (cursor_x + tab_width - 1) % tab_width end |
Hello PICO-8 community! I have a somewhat large problem. Today, during school, I was told to sign out of my user, and I did the thing we needed to, and when I had reopened the tabs upon login, the cartridges on the BBS had lower quality! The pixels were blurred, and it is just kind of annoying to be playing a good game that has pixels for display, and the pixels are fuzzy. So, if anyone else has had a problem like this, can you help me out?
I'd like to be able to rebind the various IDE actions to different keys, as some of them are frustrating for me to use. This includes the capacity to bind multiple keys to the same action, and multiple actions to the same key.
Normally I don't like presenting my own personal case that prompts these general requests, but I feel like this time it won't detract from the original argument.
I personally need to rebind the keys for the SFX editor, because the “piano-like layout” for typing notes is impossible for me to wrap my head around, to the point where I genuinely can't use it. I can show you what I mean if you want, but remember that the request is for everything to be arbitrarily rebindable.
