This is a game I made before I made this account, in fact this is the first game I made on pico-8. It never really had a name until now, just being called 'coingame'. But now that I'm releasing it I decided to give it a slightly better name, Green-Man's Coins.
Green-Man will likely appear in future games, including a way better one that I'm working on right now.

In a quiet mountain range, on forgotten training grounds,
two warriors stand, ready to compete in a pure test of ability.
No tricks or gimmicks,
just their brawns, brains, and faithful swords.

A simple single-draw solitaire game.
- You can navigate the board with the directional buttons, Z to select/move a card and X to deselect.
- You can move cards to a stack by selecting anywhere on the stack.
- You can move the card from the end of a stack to the 4 spaces at the top (if possible) by double selecting the stack.

Is there a way to, at runtime, trigger a reload of the game (changed code, possibly with #include s, and all) ?
Reason : I'm coding in an external editor and want to eliminate the edit-save-switch-run-switch loop by periodically, say within _update, trigger said reload+run.
Thanks

Here’s a simple example:
a=0
while(a<4) a+=1 if(a!=3) ?a
print('lol')

Expected output:
1 2 4 lol |
Actual output:
1 lol 2 lol lol 4 lol |

CPU meter can also be switched using Ctrl + O. As per the PICO-8 manual, originally only Ctrl + P is required.
This specification seems strange to me.
Recently, it has become possible to implement an option to operate in combination with Ctrl.
For example, when developing tools, there are times when you want to use the Ctrl + O keys to open files (data).

This is my game for global game jam 2024, from Rome, Italy
It's a Street Fighter style game turn based. Your opponent starts a joke, and you have to replay in the right way using the right movement combination.
Jokes are in italian just because they are inspired by Pera Toons a famous italian author for kids. The game is designed in coop with my 9 years old daughter Margherita who also creates the pixel art

Someone randomly mentioned Minecraft on the official unofficial Discord, and with the PICO-8 Free Music Jam starting tomorrow (plug!), that inspired this chill but slightly dissonant background loop. Approximately two and a quarter minutes long, uses 00, 01, and 02 for custom SFX instruments, total of 15 SFX and 16 patterns.

Hello everyone, this is my first cart, as well as the first time I'm posting here.
Please enjoy the game; it's a work in progress and will definitely be very buggy.

My First Try - This "Game" is a Test!
After some umming and ahhing I decided to give PICO 8 a try. I've played around with the likes of Unity before, but for all intents and purposes I'm a complete noob when it comes to both coding and game dev.
The Intention
My intention here was to get familiar with PICO 8 and Lua. I spent a few weeks looking at tutorials and making up as I went along. The general plan was to create a vertical slice of a top down shooter in a similar vein to the classic VIC-20 game

Hi, new to PICO-8. I installed it on my Mac and it runs fine. But I downloaded some carts from Lexaloffle and when I copy the pathname to one and type "load PATHNAME" I receive the "Could not load" message. It doesn't matter which folder the cart is in and I've tried it with two carts that my friend got working. I checked that PICO-8 has read/write permissions. What could be going wrong?
Thanks
