This is a playable version of World 1-1 from Super Mario Bros. in just 1KB of compressed code. It's basically a proof-of-concept for a number of super-condensed game systems that I've been working on, but hopefully it's fun to play around with, too.

Arrow keys: Move

TO LOAD THIS PICO-8 CART, in immediate mode, type: load #spr2p8sci
Hello there.
If you are running this code in Pico-8, you will see that the Spritesheet does not contain this picture ! Instead there is only a single line of code, and a PRINT statement at that to create the display you see above. How is this possible ? Well, we need to go back a day to find this out.
I was taking a look at @GPI's marvelous example of multi-poke using P8SCII code:
https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=49517
And I thought to myself, it would be interesting to write code that could save off an entire 128x128 16-color picture as a single print command. Could it be done ? And yes, it could. The picture above for instance is just 8948-text characters directly in source-code as a single PRINT statement.

The code im using gives me a syntax error, here is my code
function fire()
local b = {
sp=3
x=ship.x,
y=ship.y,
dx=0,
dy=-3
}
add(bullets,b)
end
It is the only thing wrong with the code
it says
"unclosed '{'
even when it isnt.

This is just a cart to launch the games I've been given premission to launch from the basic shump showcase jam.
This jam was run by @Krystman to go along with his video series. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81WM_cjp9fo&list=PLea8cjCua_P3Sfq4XJqNVbd1vsWnh7LZd
I asked for permission from people to add their carts here. And I have done so. I'd like more entries and also would love if they would provide me with a 24x24px image to represent their cart.
If anyone else has a cart that they would like added from the shmup showcase then please let me know and I'll add it.
If any aspiring musician wants to write a bit of background music for this then please feel free.

Hello. This is my first attempt to convert a multi-track MIDI song to Pico-8 through the use of @bikibird's own DENOTE tool. And I believe I was successful.

As for the picture, it helps to squint. Sorry, that's the best I can do. :)
Run in immediate mode for zero hiccups in flicker.

Shovel Knight Main Theme
Music by @Fettuccini
Art by @SmellyFishstiks
I actually made this a while ago, but just never got around to posting it here on the BBS. Thanks to @SmellyFishstiks for taking the time to make the art for it!
Any recommendations for other Shovel Knight songs to demake? Let me know, and I just might do it :)

Hot Diggin'
A game in less than 1kb for PICO-1K jam 2022
Help Digson get away from the falling lava! Dig as fast as you can! Why is the lava falling? Who knows!
HOW TO PLAY:
- arrow keys (or gamepad DPAD) - move left and right
- action button (Z,C, or N on keyboard, "A" on XBOX gamepad) - dig!
- you can dig left and right by holding that direction while digging. Otherwise, you will try to dig down. You can only dig when your feet are on hard ground.
- Your only goal is to outrun the falling lava. Touching red blocks will make the lava run faster. You can dig through red blocks, but doing so will GREATLY speed up the lava, so try to avoid this.

Shovel Knight Main Theme
[sfx]
Here's my pico-8 transcription of the main theme from Shovel Knight :)
My pixel art skills aren't the most refined, so if anyone out there would like to take a stab at making a 128x128 title screen for this, I'll gladly use that to post this as a cart instead and credit you.
