This was supposed to be posted Sunday but I get detained, so here it is Monday. Better late than never, right ? :)
Continuing the Applecart we were going to do five stages of the Apple puzzle game, PENSATE.
- Sprites and game appearance (due now, I finished mine all in just an hour)
- Movement of sprites and player (due 02-09-20)
- Menus and scoring (etc)
- Sound
- Cleanup and completion
For more information about this cart, go HERE:

You should have already completed numbers 1 and 2 over this 2-week period. Here is a video of my version of current PENSATE for Pico-8 based on the original game for the Apple ][.
As you can see like the original you get a chance to choose where to place the player at the bottom for your first move and after that, at least for the first few levels, you get one move for yourself and one move for your opponents.

M5Stack FACES ESP32 Pocket Computer
Do you guys think pico8 could run on this? I have been looking for a device I could program and run pico8 on and the idea of being able to code, then swap the face out seems pretty cool. It's like having a tiny dev computer that turns into the console afterwords.

Explore a bunch of squarish islands, dig up some treasure, leave your footprints!
Experimenting with noise map generation combined with auto-tiling.
Controls:
Arrow keys to move
Z to dig/skip map generator animation
X to show mini-map
Uses @Felice's Noise Map Generator.

Be a dragon! Lay waste to your foes with your claws, bite, and fire breath! Gather gold and bring it back to your lair to grow in power! Bask in the adoration of your kobold followers! (Also you're a circle for some reason. This is Dragondot 3, you should be used to that by now.)
An action-adventure game full of secrets to find and new abilities to gain, drawing inspiration from the Legend of Zelda series among others. Map exploration, skills gained, and hoard stockpiled are all saved persistently, so you can continue your adventure across multiple sessions. Featuring over twenty different types of creatures to encounter, over twenty different skills to acquire (some with multiple upgrade levels), over a hundred map screens to explore (not even counting the dungeons, tunnels, and secret caves!) -- all packed into a single cozy little pico-8 cartridge.

Swerve around enemies and connect lines to boost your score! Connect long lines to become invincible, but be careful, new enemies are always coming!

As I'm working rather deeply in coding for the next Sorcery project, I am running into a nasty little thing that when the screen scrolls it jumps back when the cursor is able.
@zep: Suggest using CTRL [ and CTRL ] to shift the viewpoint of the source-code to center it if need be and reset to zero when ENTER is hit.
And before you think my tabs big they are not. I use 2-spaces per indentation so this can visually be a problem with complex and deep level nesting.

So, here's the main thing I've been working on since I posted VVVVVV Moonfall. I've been a lot more relaxed with it, and I've been taking measures to not write total spaghetti code, and some of it's even commented. In all, I'm really proud of how this has been coming together. The camera needs work, as does some little aspects of the movement, and some things need tweaking, but I'll get to all of that eventually.
For now, I've decided to post this mainly because I'm kind of exhausted creatively, and don't really know where to go next. So I'm gonna be taking a break from it, and probably from Pico-8 too. (making carts, at least.) I've been spending almost all of my free time lately on it, and I feel like that's kind of been sucking the life out of me, among other things. Anyway, enough about me.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is an older work-in-progress version! Play the completed released version here.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a little scaled-sprite 3D graphics engine inspired by the old classic game Power Drift.
Still work in progress. Needs some basic game-play rules (laps, win/lose etc) and some difficulty balancing. But it's playable.

Hello there!
I'm making a Tetris clone that uses the map to save tile data. The program draws the tetraminoes using 2 'for' loops and a table that has start and center information, but also how many columns and rows to draw in this config:
table_x={startx,starty, row1x,row1y,n row1, row2x,row2y,n row2}
The program is supposed to check if it has a second row:
if(table[6]!=nil) then
pos_x,pos_y=0,0
for n=1,table[8],1 do
rot_x,rot_y=rot(table[6]+pos_x,table[7]+pos_y)
for v=0,7,7 do
for b=0,7,7 do
if(op=="gravity") then
flag=fget(mget((p1.x+rot_x+b)/8,(p1.y+rot_y+v)/8),0)
if(flag) then
....

Is it possible to make carts private? It could help developers to make multicart games, the secondary carts could be private

==Balls to the Wall==
This is a game I made over the Christmas break and am just now finally publishing on bbs. I'm not really satisfied with how it turned out, but I figured it'd be good to post it to get some criticism. Unfortunately, there is no audio on this cart :( The code is pretty embarassing, but it was definitely a good learning experience for my next projects. Let me know what you think!
The controls are:
Z - change orientation
X - create wall
arrow keys - move cursor around screen
Buttons:
Put your cursor over the 'start' button to release the balls from their cage
Put your cursor over the 'eraser' to change your wall creator into an eraser. Touch the button again to revert it back to wall creator mode

a snippet at the end of a line renders fine: [this is code]
however, a snippet in the middle of a line never terminates: [this is code] [this is not code]

fixed choice issue (only left button would progress, everything else made the screen blank)
{2/6/2020}
fixed upload, forgot about that (misnamed the embed/cart code)
{2/7/2020}
Check code for how it was done! Heavily Commented on!
Hope you all enjoy, feel free to modify it to your hearts content! Add stuff, or make your own text adventure!
Press P, then Reset Cart to reload to the first page!

This game is a clone with some changes of a game I saw originally made in Puzzlescript by @MattRix. The site where I saw it is not working at the moment. Updated to include logo.
11/2023 - Updated to include particle effects and transitions, as well a save system that stores last level played and the ability to undo movements until the beginning of a level.

Centipede
Here is my Version of Atari's arcade classic shooter Centipede.
In 1980 Dona Bailey developed the arcade game Centipede for Atari.
It was the first arcade game designed by a woman and became one of the most successful
arcade video games (see: Killer List of Video Games).
My kids and I already had a lot of fun with this Pico8-Centipede-Version and we are working
on an update! Wait and see!!...

Playable work in progress demake I've been working on, first for a week last January, now for a week again in the hopes of getting it playable for https://itch.io/jam/zachlike-jam
The original game is http://www.zachtronics.com/spacechem/ and I highly recommend every game they have produced.
Controls: arrows move the cursor. X to open a dialog to create/replace/delete instructions and arrows, arrows to move THAT cursor, X to confirm or O to cancel, optionally then arrows to set the direction/settings of the new instruction. O to open a dialog to run/pause/reset the simulation, or to grab and drop the sense and bond targets, or to change levels.
What works here:
arrows
start (1)
