So, i was thinking about a little horror game where you are in like a big complex and there is a monster, you have to hide when its near you and have to escape. Im currently making it and its pretty hard, the mget dosent wanna work so thats bad, but as im typing this out i think i can make it work just by copying it from the collision system. I will post updates how im doing on the game. I hope you will like the full game when it comes out!

Introducing my first PICO-8 game... Hazmat Havoc!
Created with VirtuaVirtue and Pico-8 Gamer.
You play as an Area 51 worker who dropped their keys through a grate during a shift. You must venture through the depths of the facility, either eliminating enemies or perishing!
A pretty standard top-down beat-em-up until around halfway through, when the player gets tired and... opens new doors. Play and find out!
This game had a pretty crazy development cycle. We had two weeks to develop the game for LOWREZJAM. For the first week or so, we were sort of chugging along. But, after multiple nights where a couple people weren't available, it became clear that we were lagging behind! On the last night, we kicked it into high gear. At first, it was going well, except for the fact that Pico-8 Gamer wasn't available. VirtuaVirtue was developing at light speed, and I was steadily progressing through my half of the game. Suddenly though, communication was completely cut off from me to VirtuaVirtue (I later learned that he fell asleep at the keyboard)! It was quite late, and I ended up staying up and coding as much as I could through the entire night... and then I submitted the game 8 minutes before the deadline! Anyways, I hope you enjoy.

Bitty Dig
A small digging game made for Low Rez Jam 2023.
Use your arrow keys to dig. You will need to collect stars to get air. Try to find an efficient path through the blocks.
Tip: You can jump by pressing up, and you can move side to side a bit while jumping.
I really want to make a slower-paced drilling game. I might continue to poke at this for balance.

Inspired by SegaSoft's Lose Your Marbles released for Microsoft Windows on August 19, 1997. In this version you will try to match colors of 3 or more marbles in the center row. Left and right buttons will shift the marble column select cursor. Up and down buttons will shift the selected column of marbles up or down. The X and O buttons will rotate the center row of marbles. A level is completed when a single column of marbles is emptied. The game is over when a single column of marbles is filled. Hope you enjoy it!

Another game for my four-year-old nephew. We played a game where he was a mole and I was a mountain and I had an avalanche that dropped some pillows on him and he had to get out from under them. That's not much of a computer game, but he likes a maze so here is a maze version.
The game will absolutely go on forever if you keep playing.

Extremely simple password generator.
Before anything else, I want to say, that since it uses the built-in rnd() function, it will(more than probably)be insecure. If you want extra security, just don't... use it.
It features 7 character sets.
And that is pretty much it.

Hi Zep! :)
I'm not sure if this is by design, but it seems printh() resolves paths differently than cstore(), reload(), etc; where printh() does path resolution relative to root_path, while the other funcs resolve paths relative to the running cart.
For example, given the directory structure:
project_dir/ |_dist/ |_foo.p8 |_log.p8l |_utils/ |_bar.p8 |
and launching with:
project_dir $ pico8 -root_path ./ ./utils/bar.p8 |
project_dir/utils/bar.p8:
cstore(0, 0, 0x4300, "./dist/foo.p8") --doesn't write to foo.p8
cstore(0, 0, 0x4300, "../dist/foo.p8") --writes to foo.p8
printh("hello world!", "./dist/log") --writes to log.p8l
printh("hello world!", "../dist/log") --bad log error |
I'm not sure which way I think all the funcs should behave, but I'm inclined to say printh() should resolve paths relative to the running cart like the other funcs, because it would probably be less surprises for the user that way.
