Hi everyone,
Just created my first ever pico-8 game for the Ludum Dare 47 compo game jam. Would love to receive feedback. I tried to keep it simple so I could learn a lot.
Been loving the Pico-8 these last few days. Hope to contribute more to this community as time goes on!

This is a simple program that picks a random sprite, displays it, moves, and then repeats. This is my first Pico-8 program and doesn't do much but is a decent screensaver in a pinch. If you're wondering where those sprites came from, it was my interpretation of sitelen pona, one of the writing systems of Toki Pona. Hopefully I didn't mess anything up!

A simple fluidsimulation, based on ink in water.
Add ink to the water and see how different colors react together.
Use forces to add some flow to the water.
Extra gravity mode where ink sinks to the bottom.
Controls:
Left mousebutton: add ink in selected color
Right mousebutton: add forces to the water
Mousewheel: scroll to select a color
X button: enable/disable gravity

Hello again!
Josiah and The Singin' Woods is a relaxing rhythm game.
Press the correct button when it's in the center of the "strike zone" line on the left.
(note: the default for the red "O" buttons is "Z" on your keyboard)
Don't miss the flashing buttons or you'll lose a life!
The game gets a little harder if you're doing well, and goes easy on you if you miss a few notes. The stars in the top right show your current difficulty.
Show me your highest score!

Hi everyone, I'm curious about how do you keep the track of changes made into the code, given the fact that the code, and assets are keept only in cartridges. Do you use any external tool/script to code with git and then import it into a cartridge?

I've been trying to make a game where you fall down a shaft and procedural generated obstacles are in the way that you have to jump and move around, but I'm pretty new to pico 8 and I was wondering if anyone could help me out with some tips on how I could go about doing that.

This is a demo on how to display the cards in a player's hand. Hope you find this useful!
--the amount of room for the cards to be in
hand_width = 96
--the size of the room in pixels
room_width = 128
--number of cards on screen
card_num = 0
--the width of the card in pixels
card_width = 12
--how many cards until they compress
card_fit_num = flr(hand_width/card_width)
function _update()
--update card_num
if btnp(❎) then
card_num += 1
end
if btnp(🅾️) and card_num > 0 then
card_num -= 1
end
--update hand_width
if btn(⬆️) then
hand_width += 1
end
if btn(⬇️) and hand_width > 12 then
hand_width -= 1
end
card_fit_num = flr(hand_width/card_width)
end
function _draw()
--draw stuff
cls(1)
print("card num:"..card_num,43,50,6)
print("x to add card",37,58)
print("c to retract card",29,64)
print("⬆️⬇️ to change hand size",15,70)
line(room_width/2-hand_width/2-2,98,room_width/2-hand_width/2-2,117)
line(room_width/2-hand_width/2+hand_width+1,98,room_width/2-hand_width/2+hand_width+1,117)
line(room_width/2-hand_width/2-2,98,room_width/2-hand_width/2+hand_width+1,98)
line(room_width/2-hand_width/2-2,117,room_width/2-hand_width/2+hand_width+1,117)
--where the magic happens
if card_num > card_fit_num then
for i=0,card_num-1 do
spr(1,(room_width/2-hand_width/2)+(hand_width-card_width)*(i/(card_num-1)),100,2,2)
end
else
for i=0,card_num-1 do
spr(1,(room_width/2-hand_width/2)+hand_width/2-(card_width*(card_num/2))+(i*card_width),100,2,2)
end
end

left/right to move (coarse movement like an old LCD game)
Just a simple thing I've been working on the last two days. All my projects get so ambitious and so muddled and so lost, so it was time to make something short. I'll be back with updates to extend the music, I got really into making the instruments work together and they deserve to be applied more!

This is a simple implementation of a 2 player abstract strategy game.
The idea behind it was: a strategy game where you don't capture pieces.
The instructions and rules are in the cart (and hopefully aren't too confusing) but the general idea is to stop your opponent from being able to take a turn. This is done by locking all their pieces either outside the board or using your pieces. You can strike locked pieces to move them or free them.
Two players are needed (or you can play against yourself), I wanted to write a cpu player but realised that I don't really know what the strategy for this game is yet, so perhaps that is for the future. You can switch on the second controller from the pause menu or just both use the same controls.

I'm surprised I haven't noticed this before.
I'm not sure if this is a regression in 0.2.1b or if it got outright broken, but @zep, I swear you fixed it in the past. But in 0.2.1b pack() is always setting the table.n value to 0:

A falling block/puzzle type thing that I've been making. Can anyone spot the influences?
(edit, added magic forks :)
