Not exactly a bug, more of a small quality of life.

In Terra: A Terraria Demake, I have the ability to load save files via pasting their content onto the game, but I have to clear the clipboard between checks. Doing so on the BBS causes a "CTRL+C TO COMPLETE COPY" banner to appear despite the fact that there is nothing to copy.

I'm clearing the clipboard via printh("","@clip").

I think that on the BBS, putting an empty string into the clipboard shouldn't bring up this message.

At least there should be a way to hide the message, in instances where PICO-8's clipboard is cleared like above and thus there is nothing for the user to copy anyway, or, say, debug code is pasting to the clipboard and the dev would like to allow users to CTRL+C at any point without popping up the message constantly.

Alternatively, a way to basically invalidate the last paste once it's been read (i.e. set it to an empty string, or nil) would be nice.

Time is all of a jumble and Captain Neat-O is trapped in the middle of it! Battle enemies, solve puzzles and find the tools you need to escape the Time Nexus and stop whoever is behind this nefarious plot.

Gain an extra heart for every 100 gems collected. There are 300 gems to collect in total but some of them are hidden in secrets areas so keep an eye out for walls look a little bit different.

This is an entry for Toy Box Jam 3 using the graphics, music and sound effect assets supplied as part of the jam.

Hi all,
I wanted to share the first full game I made on PICO-8. It's a modern twist on the old Sopwith video game.

The purpose is to destroy all enemy factories. Can you successfully complete all three levels?

Instructions:
Right key to takeoff/afterburner
Left key to air brake
Up key to pull up
Down key to pull down
Z to fire main gun (unlimited)
X to drop bombs

From the secret menu:
If you tap both left and right keys at the same time, the plane will flip. It's not necessary as the plane will flip itself upright automatically when needed.

Fuel:
Make sure to check on your fuel level. Fuel and bombs can be replenished by landing at a friendly airbase.

What is it?

This is a simple (and my first) working Tic-Tac-Toe game. Nothing special, but it runs, it's published and nothing less was my final goal.

What's to improve?

• The AI (As it's just working on random numbers, I'd say the game is currently at a very fair difficulty level.)
• The options (I wish to implement 2 player mode and some options to control the difficulty of the "ai".)
• The graphics (A little bit more animation and better graphics would'nt hurt, I guess.)
• The sound (A slinky soundtrack would be great!)

Concluding

• Fun
• Swallows time
• Sparks creativity
• Less hair loss compared to other tasks

Untergang in der Feuerdämmerung

An entry in the Lovebyte 2022 https://lovebyte.party/ and the program achieved the fifth place in the Tiny Executable Graaphics Competition.

The task in this competition was to achieve a graphic with a program of a length of at most 256 Bytes. We used a Fractal to generate the scenery mathematically. In the .p8 file, it was also necessary to cut some text in the header to meet the size requirements.

Here is the whole code in its full glory:

g=127for x=0,g do
for y=0,g do
v=x*3/g-2k=v w=y*4/g-3l=w i=0while v*v+w*w<4and i<g do
t=v*v-w*w+k
w=l+abs(2*v*w)i+=1v=t
end
c=(g-i)/g*13if(c*y>c*89)c=1

I tried to avoid the common aspects of 2d platformers that I don't like. In particular, enemies are physical objects that don't just magically hurt the player character on contact. At the very least, they have to be doing a ramming attack for their bodies to be hurtful. I also made the spikes on hurt if you actually fall on them.

The map is 185x99 tiles big and has 4 separate layers (background, foreground, geometry and tile palette), but the 4th one is barely used because I was having trouble compressing the map enough. The way the map is stored is slightly different in that the background and foreground are mixed with a separate "mask" map for separating though. This is so that the mask layer can be only 1's and 0's and thus easier to compress. The map was created externally using Tiled Map Editor, with some lua scripts to convert.

This mechanic mod modifies the game mechanics and a few levels to make them possible without rem jank. Beware, most levels require speedtechs to be beaten; you can therefore consider this to be a hard mod!

Just started coding with PICO-8. This is a remake for an Android game I made years ago. Place the blocks on the grid, fill rows and columns to gain points.

Changelog:

v0.2:

• Updated logo on the main menu
• Added some sound effects
• Added fade-out animation when a row or column is full

v0.1:

• First version of the game

Upcoming features for next version:

• Implement bonus when rows or columns are of the same colour
• Improved graphics
• Add more sounds to the game
• Add multiple game modes

So I was moving my levels around and part of the old section remained after being moved?
Thinking it was a weird byproduct of it not being on screen with the sprites in the way I tried again and nope :?
And I just tried again now and only a 16x1 chunk on the bottom was left...

Sorry for bugging you with bugs again @zep ;\

Note: I am aware that the title could sound pretty bad in English. The Latin title means "bomb with praise", which is a pun on the expression "summa cum laude". I made the title in Latin as I used it as an Ersatz of the fictional Matogan language, and this didn't come to my mind until it was pointed out. It's not something I mind too much, but please keep the comments civil.

Update 200317

Performance update. Instead of creating all crates and enemies per level at once, the game will create them as they come into screen and this reduced the slowdown at the beginning of a level.

Squishd 1.2

SQUISHD!

A collect-em-up action game for one to four players.

Escape the maze, eat tomatoes, collect treasure, don't fall in the water, and don't get squishd by the side of the screen.

Features

• One-player or same-screen multiplayer for up to four players
• Five different zones in one huge scrolling map
• Persistent hiscores
• Team and individual hiscores
• "Coop-etetive" multiplayer gameplay: you have to work with the other players to have a chance of getting the individual hiscore

Gameplay

The players control "tetrapods", trapped in a maze. The view scrolls randomly, and you must stay on screen to survive.

The maze contains tomatoes and treasure. Collect them to score points.

After two minutes in the first zone, you will enter the second zone. There are five zones in all, each with different challenges. The scrolling gets faster as you progress through the zones, and the time in each zone gets shorter. After the fifth zone, you will reach the exit. Move onto the exit to escape the maze. In a multiplayer game, all players must escape the maze to win the game, and players earn a bonus if they escape the maze before other players.

You lose a life by being squishd by the side of the screen or by falling into water. Each player has three lives. The game ends if any player loses all their lives.

Extra lives are awarded to a player when they score 500 points, then 1000 points, 2000 points, and so on. There are a few collectible extra life items in the maze, but they are hard to reach. Will you risk trying to grab them?

Scoring

Tomato: 1 point
Silver coin: 5 points
Gold coin: 10 points
Gemstone: 50 points when the gem is the same colour as your character, otherwise 20 points
Escaping the maze (multiplayer games only): Bonus, calculated as the average score of all players who have not yet escaped.

Hiscores are recorded separately for one-player, two-player, three-player and four-player games.

In multiplayer games, the entire team earns a score, calculated as the average of the players' scores. You can win two hiscores: the team hiscore and the individual hiscore. The individual hiscore can only be won when the team has won the team hiscore. Until the team has achieved the team hiscore, players must cooperate to push up the average score. When the team has the team hiscore, a flashing star is displayed at the top of the screen. At this point, players no longer need to cooperate and can go all out to win the individual hiscore.

Controls

On the title screen:

• Each player: press 🅾️ on their controller to join or leave the team.
• All players: having joined the team, hold down ❎ to start the game.

In the game:

• Use the direction buttons to move your character.
• By default your character runs while you hold down a direction button.
• Hold the 🅾️ or ❎ button to "creep" slowly by a single step for each press of the direction button. This is useful when negotiating tight passages or making risky manoeuvres near the edge of the screen.

On the game over screen:

• All players: hold down ❎ to return to the title screen.

The pause menu has options to:

• turn the music on and off
• clear all recorded hiscores
• abandon the current game and return to the title screen

Inspiration

Squishd! is inspired by the classic 8-bit game Splat!, but is not a remake.
