I am struggling to wrap my head around creating a function to search though a table for matching positions and then replacing the matching value with a new value.
The idea is for a simple racing game. Every time an obstacle/car leaves the screen it is deleted from the table and new obstacle/car is generated with a new position.
The new position is randomly picked from a list of pre-chosen positions. But this means that there are occasions where the obstacles/cars overlap because they have randomly picked the same positions as an existing obstacle/car already in the table of obstacles.
My rough concept of the idea runs like this...
- Create obstacle table
- Create new obstacle
- Check if obstacle table is empty - add new obstacle
- If not empty
-- Loop through table of obstacles and compare x/y pos values
-- If a match is found(overlap) then change the x/y pos of the new
obstacle BEFORE adding it to the table
-- Maybe loop again to perform another check???

This is a little tool I created to assign students to discussion groups. The avatars for the students are generated programmatically. It has a few limitations:
- There are only 4 possible groups
- The roster is limited to 24 students or fewer (the names of more wouldn't really fit on the screen)
- Names should be 5 characters or less to avoid overlapping.To adapt it for your own use there are a couple of changes you would have to make in tab 6 (roster):
- Change the variable 'class_name' to your class name
- Change the variable 'year' to the current name
- Edit names in the table 'roster' with your students' names
Note: game must be played from splore - this page doesn't support mouse lock
Note: global leaderboard not yet available
Take the cursed dagger, use its power to dispatch the horrors from this hellish place, score the best time!
Note: this is not an official Devils Daggers port for PICO8 but a fan game using Sorath's game universe.
How to play
- Default controls: ESDF + mouse
- Fire: left mouse button
- Jump: space
Local stats icons:
number of jewels collected
number of daggers fired
hit ratio

Hello world,
I'm brand new to coding and Pico 8. I have created a sprite and figured out how to get it to move, and even flip when he changes directions. I have a second sprite that makes it look like he is taking a step.
My main problem is I can't figure out how to get it to swap between these 2 frames when you move him around. Whenever you press up, down, left or right, I want him to take a step (switch between the 2 frames).
Can anyone point me toward a resource to help me figure it out?
Thanks in advance

Description
I spent a few weeks following the Lazy Dev's tutorial and made this game. "Red" is a shoot 'em up game with a Rogue-like vibe, drawing inspiration from titles such as "Vampire Survivors", "Judgement Silversword", and "Elemental Master." I'm considering expanding the content to develop a more formal game, but I'm not pretty sure about the mechanics. Please tell me what you think. Thank you!

(O)(X) - Switch Directions / Confirm
Upgrades
Bullet - Basic weapon
Sword - Melee weapon, that can slash enemies' bullet
Rocket - Fire two missiles
Stars - Middle-range weapon
Shield - Protect bullets and enemies

I realized that stat() is basically a peek() analogue for system status registers.
To my knowledge, there is currently no functionality attached to the second arg onwards.
Would it be a good idea to let stat(index, n) return an n-tuple just like peek(addr, n) does?
It'd allow simplifications like this:
_update60()
-- mouse stats
_mx,_my,_mb=stat(32,3)
-- or keep a fifo list of the last second's worth of mouse stats:
deli(_m,#m)
ins(_m,1,{stat(32,3)})
print(_m[16][3]) -- print the buttons 0.25 seconds ago
-- or take a snapshot of all stat() values at the start of _update()
-- (probably silly but you can imagine subsets being useful)
_statshot={stat(1,255)}
end
_init()
-- fifo used above
_m={} for i=1,60 do _m[i]=0 end
end |
Seems like a simple little QoL thing, I hope?

Working on a unicorn game for my daughter. I'm very new to programming. Pico-8 finally put it all together for me in a way that I can understand.
To-do:
- Screen refresh
- Make rainbow trailing instead of permanent
- Make rainbow solid
- Enemies
- Encircling enemies turns them into friendlies
- Two player
My brain is pretty burnt out from getting this far, but I'm pleased with the results.

For the past several months I've been working on a full port of the original Super Mario Bros. for Pico-8. Just today, I was working on implementing level checkpoints, and a few hours after stopping work on the prototype and putting my laptop to sleep, I came back to it. As happens sometimes, Windows went through a lengthy update process, and after it ended I attempted to bring up the file, and this did not work. On investigation, I found that the file now took 102KB, and was unloadable. I then attempted to load it using Notepad++, but all I saw was a tremendously long single line of blank spaces that read "nul" when I highlighted them.
If anyone knows of any methods for recovering .p8 files that have become corrupted, I would greatly appreciate any advice. I have been saving the prototype using the same file name for a long time, and the most recent alternate version I have is from 3 months ago, and it would require a great deal of time and work to rebuild.

SHOCK-A-DOODLE
MEET DANNY DOODLE
He was always ambitious and diligent, always eager to satisfy his superiors, never sloppy and never not willing to run the extra mile to fulfill every new task with the highest level of precise focus and unwavering dedication. Danny Doodle had put all of his eggs in one basket. He believed in the system, believed in SusCorp Inc. and knew that his big break had to be imminent. He believed in it for 25 years.
Today he has decided to wake up. He won't lose any more feathers over a stupid company that doesn't appreciate him and probably sees him as nothing more than just another cock in their machine. It's time to run. It's time to exit through the Shock Factory and hopefully not get fried on the way out. It's time to get back to the henhouse and show the whole world what this rooster is capable of.

Hi friends, looks like exciting changes are coming soon. I guess this might be the last song I make before 0.2.6 is out so this is my send-off to Pico-8 audio as we knew it. See u on the other side! 🙂

Hi friends,
Here's the OST for @freds72's upcoming release, Demi Daggers. Trying to recreate the complex sound design of Devil Daggers and its OST in Pico-8 was a massive challenge. I hope I did it justice, and I hope you enjoy it!

Hi!
New user here, still trying to find my feet. I have a starter project where I'm trying to draw a Crokinole table, which is a circular board with a circle of pins halfway from the centre to the outer edge.
I have a function that I'm calling from _Init() to set up the pins at the start of the game:
function init_pins(a)
--Pins are in a circle, so we init the pins with a number to say how many there are
--then figure out based on how many what the angle is between them if they're spaced
--equally
angle_between_pins=1/a
--Now, for each pin, we call the add pin functionality
for i=1,a do
add(pin,{
--We want the angle from 12 o'clock to this pin specifically
pin_angle=angle_between_pins*i,
print(pin_angle,16*i,8,3),
x=sin(pin_angle)*boardradius/2,
y=cos(pin_angle)*boardradius/2,
draw=function(self)
circfill(self.x,self.y,8,6)
end,
})
end
end |
I am confused as hell, because while trying to debug this, that print(pin_angle) just returns a load of null values. But if I replace print(pin_angle) with print(angle_between_pins*i) (the exact thing I just just pin_angle to) then I get the values I'm expecting. Something about putting those angles into a variable within the table entry is setting it to null.

Hello community, I recently needed development help and had nowhere to go. So I created a Slack channel where everyone can talk to each other, and ask for development help, or ideas.

Hello guys GameRater here and I want your help. So I have many game ideas. It's just whenever I try to code a game it always flops. I'm no developer at all. So that is where I am asking for your help. I have this game idea that I that the community could make but not me. If you finish please send it to me!
Pillars of PhysisAs the main character Physis you must stop the pillars from falling! With the power of physics you must lift the pillars up back to normal. If they fall the gods from below will hit the clouds and zap the humans below with lightning. You must watch where the pillars are falling. This game could contain 3-5 pillars. You can get points for every time you lift one pillar up. The game ends once a pillar falls.
Thanks for reading, GameRater
