Hallo Pico People,
Loving it here. First post!
So i'm working on a 2D physics based collision engine.
...Imagine a whole bunch of polygons flying around, wrapped in AABBs (axis aligned bounding boxes)...
And I was wondering if this was a legit/efficient way to check if Two Edges/Line-Segments Intersect.
1. Treat them as AABBs and check if those overlap, is so keep the "resulting mini rectangle".
-->otherwise abort
2. Treat them as Linear-Functions (infinite strait lines) and check if they are parallel, if NOT determine the resulting "point of intersection"
--otherwise abort
3. check if the "point of intersection" is inside the "resulting mini rectangle".
--return that point, otherwise abort
--do segments intersect? if so where?
function segments(a,b)
local r=overlap(to_rect(a),
to_rect(b))
if(not r)return false
local pt=intersection(a,b)

This is Mot's 8-Ball Pool, a little pool simulation inspired by 3D pool on the C64 and Amiga.
Shoot a round of pool against a friend, or one of the 7 different AI characters.
UI
The UI at the bottom of the screen shows how each player is progressing.
The player's name flashes when it is their turn.
The color they must sink is displayed next to their name, and the balls already sunk are displayed above.
A white ball indicates they have a free ball.
When player fouls, the reason for the foul is displayed in a scrolling message along the bottom of the screen.

How would I go about comparing numbers greater than 32,767?
I'm using @Felice's code from https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=22677:
function get_score_text(val) local s = "" local v = abs(val) while (v!=0) do s = shl(v % 0x0.000a, 16)..s v /= 10 end if (val<0) s = "-"..s if(s=="") then s="0" end return s end |
I'm saving the three highest scores to the cart data. Unfortunately, I'm struggling to solve how to determine if the user's current high score (stored as a string) is greater than one of the other three. I'm looking for a function along these lines:
function check_new_high_score()
--high_scores = table of tables { 1 => (player_name), 2 => (player score) }
for i=1,#high_scores do
local raw_high_score = get_score_text(config.total_score)
local raw_saved_score = high_scores[i][2]
if(raw_high_score>raw_saved_score) then

I am trying to edit the config.txt file from /Users/myuser/Library/Application Support/pico-8, but it is overwritten every single time I exit out of pico-8. Does anybody know why this is?
I'm using PICO-8 v0.2.1b on OSX.
I have validated (multiple times) that pico-8 is NOT running when I edit the file. When I then start the application, the settings are still present in the config.txt (although my changes seem to be ignored) and then the file is overwritten with default values when I exit.
Thanks for any suggestions!

TL;DR:
PICO-8 is amazing!

What a rush! I needed all those 72 hours to complete this. At about 40 minutes from the end, I had the game completed and for god’s sake, it worked and was ready.
It has been a lot since my last solo Ludum Dare (like 4 years probably) but I'm so happy that this is the game for my comeback. This time the theme was "Stuck in a loop", and the Ludum Dare 47 started a bit earlier, at midnight for me. I thought about this concept just a few hours after I went to bed, and I've fallen in love with it. I believe this truly resonates with how I feel and have felt and this is why I think I've managed to make it conveys those feelings to the player.​

You are a satellite tasked with scanning a foreign planet. Travel through the data ring hotspots while avoiding the planet’s meteor showers, asteroid belts, and electric discharges.
Controls: Hold Z to fly in the inner ring and X to fly on the outer one. You orbit faster when you are closer to the planet and slower when you are further away. Use that to your advantage!

You don’t know where you are. See if you can find a way out.
Drop breadcrumbs to track your movement, but watch out for hungry birds!
This was my first time ever using PICO-8. During Ludum Dare 46 I used Godot but I remember someone mentioning that they were making their game using PICO-8 which I had never heard of before. Literally a few hours before LD 47 began I remembered PICO-8 and decided to check it out and then last minute decided to use it to make my game. I feel pretty addicted now and can't wait to make many more games.
The code is pretty god awful but you can find it here: https://github.com/KentJohnson/Ludum-Dare-47-Entry
