Does anyone else find it surprising that with fillp() a set 1 bit draws the background color, and an unset 0 bit draws a pixel of the foreground color ? ... I appreciate it's a feature of P8 and also see why technically it may be necessary...
Just wondered what people think: are colors are inverted to convention...? 🤔
Do you invert the fill pattern or just swap the palette colors when rendering?

Play as Sofie Engel in this stealthy spin on classic arcade maze games! Maintain your battery reserves, avoid detection, and destroy the Kugelblitz before it fully ignites...
How to Play
Your ultimate goal is to reach the Kugelblitz before time runs out. Before that, however, you must deactivate the two energy barriers that surround it, by overloading the control panels elsewhere in the maze. This will consume half of your battery, which also depletes as you walk, so make sure you have enough - you can restore your battery using the pickups that spawn throughout the maze.
You can get bonus points by collecting the floppy disks that spawn occasionally, but be quick - they disappear just a few seconds after appearing. You'll get an extra life at 10k points, then 20k, 40k, 80k, and so on.

Watch and be amazed :)
The longer You watch the more of the 3D Effect you will see.
If you press ⬆️ then you will access paint mode. 🎨
You can just paste this in pico-8.
pal({-15,1,-13,-4,12,6,7,-9},1)::w::
for x=0,127do
y=(t()*t())%127
pset(x,y,abs((sin(x/160+t()/2)+cos(y/220)+sin(x/120))*3+rnd(tonum(btn(⬆️)))))
end flip()goto w |
If you like this I have another one 4D Tweetcart ⭐

SISYPHEAN PARABLE
I see that man going back down with a heavy yet measured step toward the torment of which he will never know the end. This is the truly tragic moment when the hero becomes conscious of his wretched condition. He does not have hope, but there is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn. Acknowledging the truth will conquer it; Sisyphus, just like the absurd man, continues pushing. All is well, indeed, that one must imagine Sisyphus happy.
SUMMARY
A hapless vacuum cleaner is responsible for cleaning up the mess in the room. However, a crack in its body spills some of the dirt that it had previously collected in its tank back to the ground whenever it moves. This vicious cycle results in him continuing the cleaning process indefinitely, even when a limited amount of dirt is found in the room.

My first Pico 8 cart, an L-system pattern generator dancing to the beat~
(Let me know if I've made any mistakes with the post! :) )

I built this for a friend with a short attention span.
how to play
x to advance through title screens and game over screens
to fold clothes, press the arrows corresponding with the pink arrow indicators over the article of clothing. Do it quickly, before your attention span runs out!
There are seven loads of laundry - fold them all to win! Should be beatable in a handful of minutes.
development notes
8/6/23 - juice (paws, sfx, better arrow indicators), calling it done
8/5/23 - token reclamation, 1 pattern per article, difficulty tuned, 5 stages
8/3/23 - working game, at character limit, 4 patterns per article, impossibly difficult, 7 stages
todo before "done"

Onion OS for the Miyoo Mini Plus seems to be based on Linux so I decided to try to get Pico-8 proper to run on it since FAKE-8 tends to break on a lot of games, plus I miss SPLORE, which seems possible to use given it's WIFI chip. But sadly I'm running into errors.
No matter which version I try to run I get this weird error, IDK if this means it's trying to execute it in the wrong way but it's weird
/mnt/SDCARD/pico-8 2 # ./pico8 ./pico8_32bit: line 1: syntax error: unexpected word (expecting ")") |
Any idea what could be the problem?

What is Heliman?
Simply put, I bet Heliman is the worlds most unfair platformer!
Why so. Because there's like a 3 minute level (still under development)
of pure pixel perfect jumps, frame perfect timings and has no checkpoint...
.png)
Controls
Left/Right to run
X to jump
C to copterate
Also, this game is still under development, so feedback would be appreciated!
Bet it takes a couple times for you to beat this, and there is no goal so
you're just testing this... MUAHAHAHAH
EXTREME Edition:

Same as last time but some more juice (sadly my dum brain was not able to figure out how to make the player use X for both jumping and flying... )

Possible bug / user error / 'feature' of rounding(?)...
cls()
print("0x7b18.3060")
print(tostr(0x7b18.3060))
print(tostr(31512.189,true))
print(tostr(31512.188965,true)) |
Why does PICO-8 return the s16.16 value for the hexadecimal with too few digits?
i.e. the conversion with tostr() hex>dec>hex is lossy.

Platformer concept using Nerdy Teachers platformer series for base player code, collision, and animations.
Honestly, really proud of this parallax cloud effect, although it's one issue seems to be that the clouds won't move if the player is in the starting position, which maybe has to do with my math moving the x drawing position for the clouds depending on the player.x's positions and being so close to the map limits.
This is my first real pico 8 project!
Let me know if the aesthetic inspires any gameplay ideas!
EDIT:
Spent hours trading code with chatgpt and learning how to implement the cats, they're a little finicky and unpredictable, but that's cats for you.
For now, enjoy endlessly collecting stray cats!
