This is my first game I make on PICO-8, it's called Flappy Block, it's like Flappy Bird but a bit easier.
Enjoy the game!
Controls:
Up arrow: Jump
X: Play again
Thanks to Dylan Bennett for making the tutorial of this game.
The high score is 7272 (4gateftw's high score)

Let me know what you think! A demo, 15 levels, no sound or music yet, working title, etc.

A first attempt at a pico8 chess engine.
Move generation is currently unoptimised so AI is fairly slow and doesn't have a great depth search.
-- Controls --
Use arrow keys to select a piece
Use z to confirm
Use x to disable AI

Finished the tutorial from "Gamedev with PICO-8!" I changed a few things for aesthetics, but otherwise its the same game lol.
I never would've understood what the workflow looked like or how to use all the different tools without help, so thank you to the people who made the zine!

In some levels the movements are mirrored horizontally, in other ones they are mirrored vertically. You can switch between the hero and his alter ego limited number of times in a level…

Starting With Basics:
Right off the bat I got used to the environment. Seeing all the different menus, EVERYTHING IS CAPTIAL, where code goes and general feels. I really do like the aesthetic of the whole environment. Than I began like anyone does with going to YouTube and typing pico 8! Coming from C++ and Java the set up was interesting to learn. _Init, _Update and _Draw are all different functions to put certain other functions in, how crazy! With the tutorials I learned basic of variable setup and making shapes on screen AND MADE MY FIRST PICO 8 PRODUCT! I call it .rainbowshape which just creates a rainbow shape go figure:
<- Wow now that looks cool I think...
✨✨✨✨rainbowshapes✨✨✨✨
Sprites Are Hard
With the basics underway I began tutorials on 2D sprite movement and notice how bad I am at pixel art. Granted I have never done it before but trying to draw a little guy is harder than it seems. I have to think about size and shape? What if I want to make an octopus, how do I do draw that in 8-bit??? BUT with some more practice I actually made a little Link's Awakening prototype.

In Ghost Detective's first case, you float around a house, take photographs of evidence and solve a murder.
Be tactical about what you want to know more about, you only have a limited amount of photos. But no pressure – after your first run, you can always go back and find every last crumb of information.
Arrow Keys to move
X to take photos
Z/Y to whistle
v1.2 adds an option to disable screenshake
You can also find the game on itch.io:

During an late evening, I've written a small music demo with music from the Super Mario Bros. to experiment with dynamically loading music into the SFX and pattern banks before playing for more complex scores.
It's not quite finished yet, here are the tracks currently implemented:
- Overworld
- Underground
- Castle
- Starman
- Course Clear
- Castle Clear
- 100 Seconds
- Too Bad
- Game Over
There is still some leftover code for dumping the tracks from the tracker. I'll decouple it when I'm done.

Every now and then I get directed to a BBS post with a cart that I genuinely to see, but which is making my headphones screech into my ears because it's so loud.
Thing is, I already have both my system volume and my app-specific browser volume set to sensible levels for all other content, so I can't reasonably dial down the volume pre-emptively.
Unfortunately, sometimes it's appropriate for a game to do something loud, albeit briefly, so I wouldn't expect you to limit it in the player either.
Really, I think the solution is to have a slider of some sort on the web player. Even if it's limited to 8 different levels, like PICO-8 is internally, that'd help.
Maybe if the user right-clicks (or presses and holds) on the speaker icon, it pops up a slider that can be adjusted?
I dunno if it should be persistent and/or global. For reference, Youtube seems to be both, i.e. the most recent change you made becomes the default for the next video, regardless of how many windows you have open with different settings.
