I was with a friend thinking about making a Pico 8 handheld with A Raspberry PI, and a small screen, and some buttons and a battery, and we want to make it but we have no idea how, it would be cool to also have a teeny-tiny keyboard that we could use on it, we know for the software we can just download Pico 8 on Raspberry Pi OS and have it launch on startup, we could use spore for the games and thats why we need the keyboard. (except if there is a way to get an on screen keyboard that would work similar to those of PS4 and XBox) we want to specifically make it ourselves, and only for playing Pico 8 games. Any help?

I wanted to mess with the speed of a sound-effect during runtime and couldn't find any information on how to do so when searching around. Figured it out with the help of this info about the memory layout of SFX data: https://pico-8.fandom.com/wiki/Memory#Sound_effects
Edit:
The cart code is a bit messy, here's a reusable snippet:
function sfxspd(sfx_i,spd) local addr=0x3200+(68*sfx_i)+64+1 poke(mem_addr,spd) end |

The Socks is a submission to The Pacifist Jam, aiming to explore the age-old question of whether hanging and pairing socks can be enjoyable. Developed within a week, the end product represents only a fraction of the initial plan. However, do you think it succeeded in uncovering the answer?

So I want to make a game that's satisfying to play with currently I have this:
function _init()
x=64
y=74
end
function _update()
if btn(⬆️) then y-=1
end
if btn(⬇️) then y+=1
end
if btn(➡️) then x+=1
end
if btn(⬅️) then x-=1
end
end
function _draw()
rectfill
spr(1,x,y)
print("blue square")
end
I'm not sure how to do the rectfill and fill it with color 2. I want to fill the background and maybe make z and x do something

\/v latest release
little physics thingie
c/[o] to jump
left, right to move left and right
A simple physics thingie i whipped up last night. It's nowhere near done but i hope to work on it more. keep in mind that it's pretty bashed together atm and really just a proof of concept.
this system atm just uses regular aabb collision aswell as using the tilemap
I know physics in pico has been done manymany times before but i think i can learn from making this
Todo :
- pushable colliders
- better entity system
- composition based
Updates :
- v2
- better floorcheck function
- added basic moving platform mechanics
- v2.1

Cookie Crumbler
A small arkanoid clone where you help a cow try and get home
Goal
I spend an embarrassing amount of my time playing around splore and awhile back a lot of people were putting out
brick-break clones. There's a moment in brick-break where you have one brick left and you spend a lot of time trying to
get the last brick. I wanted to make a brick-break/arkanoid like game where you wouldn't have to deal with that
frustrating last-brick moment.
My Solutions
I tried to solve the goal two ways: ball direction based on where it hit the paddle and creating a explosion that moves
across the screen taking 1 hit off of every cookie hit.

Tiny Tactics Postmortem
A few months ago I discovered PICO-8 and decided to make a game for it. It was a nice experience, and I'm proud of this little turn based, tactics / puzzle game. I'll try to summarize below how I made Tiny Tactics.
I didn't have much spare time to devote to this project (maybe 5 to 10 hours a week), but I think it went pretty smooth. I spent exactly 3 months making the game (from purchasing a license for PICO-8 to exporting the final version of the cart).
You can play the game and download the cart here.
I have also created a project on GitHub. It contains:
- source code before flattening / compression;
- spritesheet and map exports;
- a standalone HTML version;
- binaries for Windows, Mac, Linux and Raspberry Pi;
- a walkthrough: GIFs I recorded using PICO-8, showing my solutions for each level;
