After updating Pico8 from 0.2.4c to 0.2.5g, I seem to com accross a strange kind of bug that spawns enemies on their own after waiting long enough:
It seem to consistently spawn a slime at the center, a shadow pig from below, and later a shadow pig at the top, these enemies are completely functional, so they seem to have spawned in, they also spawn consistently at the same level too.
You can see it for yourself here, it's at level 3:
I've been trying to debug it, going after each function that spawns in enemies, but it only seem to happen at the makeenemyfromsprite() function, which spawns an enemy based on the sprite on the map.

Hey All! PICO-8 0.2.6b is up now up on lexaloffle, Humble, itch.io, and for PocketCHIP and web (Education Edition). Note: you'll need to update to 0.2.6b to play new carts and SFX snippets created in 0.2.6!
Inverted Draw Operations
Thanks to @p01 for nudging me about this one! Filled draw operations (circfill, ovalfill, rectfill) can now be drawn inside-out: every pixel outside the area is drawn instead of every inside pixel. This can be controlled in a way similar to setting the fill pattern per draw call: first poke(0x5f34,0x2) to enable inverted draws, and then set bits 0x1800 in the colour argument. Here is a snippet to blank out everything except a circle in the middle (that changes size):
poke(0x5f34,0x2) circfill(64,64,50+cos(t()/4)*10,0 | 0x1800) |

Project 'Mustapekka'
By Sam Westerlund and Benjamin Rosenlund
Hello!
My first post, how exciting! I'm creating a platformer with my friend Benji.
We now have some clue on what the game is going to be about. (Big things coming). The code is based on the code of jelpi. Feedback is welcome!
-Sam
version 0.5.0
Remade the gliding mechanic in a smaller world with new graphics.
version 0.4.x
Added 'nudging' when hitting corners above you and when descending from platforms. The umbrella has more drag. Removed gliding jitter by making the camera lock on to the player.
version 0.3.0
More precise movement can now be used to traverse a new map! Although, it is quite lifeless for the time being.

BOGGLE
this is a tool to play boggle (not a game) by default Spanish is selected but you can change to English from the menu
menu:
timer controls:
Controls
press shake to get a new board and start the timer
play and stop are obvious
press the timer itself to change the timer
there is an option in the pause menu to go back to the last board (used in case you shook the board by mistake)
Rules
use the tool to play boggle however you want
Behind the Scenes
the shake first chooses randomly a place for every die and then chooses a random face for each one

A B-Day gift for a little girly!
look at the little hearts...
In this game you mainly look at cute thing and click at emojis!
And for that you two modes, Arcade and Zen.
Arcade mode
Emojis will come flying around and you have to click on them before time runs out! Whenever you click at one, you regain a little time, but everything starts to go faster! Test your reflexes in this challenging mode.
Zen mode
The emojis are still flying around, but they are much more chill. Now there is no timer and each emoji will give you a little compliment. They have plenty to say about you!
Controls
The game is mostly played with clicks, so you can either play on the computer with a mouse, or on a phone!
Just note that if you want to restart the game, use the PICO-8 menu by clicking enter, or use the button on the screen.
Final Words
This silly game serves as a present, a little something to maybe get a smile out of you... And I hope it befits your own cuteness. ;3

I am a noob at Pico 8 and I really need help with map collisions. I tried using Nerdyteacher tutorials but they don't work. I tried using the simple collision function cartridge and it also does not work and I don't know what to do now.

I don't know why I made this. I went in with no plan and it sure shows. I might update this at some point once I get any more ideas of dumb things I could do with it

Here's my bubbleshooter clone. Use L/R to aim and Z/O to launch. Ultimately you have to eliminate all bubbles to progress to next level, but there's the added challenge of trying to pop all the star bubbles in the level. You have to actually land adjacent to these to make them pop. Making them fall doesn't count.
I made a little level editor tool for myself to help in creating these levels and tweaking them later. I'll be honest. I didn't find designing these levels to be super interesting, but I tried to at least make them possible. I probably need to study a bit to find out designs that make these levels fun to play, but as far as mechanics I'm reasonably happy with this and willing to call it my "first" complete pico-8 game.
If people think it's fun or want to see more, then maybe I'll revisit this and continue to add levels and QOL to this project.
Edit: fixed the hard coded level. Should play them correctly now.

Grave Defence is tower defence game, in which you control a ghost tasked with defending the souls resting in a mausoleum from the incoming hordes of skeletons!
Controls
- Arrow keys to move the character
- X key to place and pickup torches
- O key to toggle flame aura indicators
Rules
Torches must be powered by near by Power Flames. Once powered they will shoot enemies within range.
Shooting torches will consume the energy of the flames they are linked to.
Power Flames can die out if over tapped so keep an eye out for their size.
However, Flames will recharge over time unless fully extinguished.
Torches can be relocated; the mausoleum must be protected and you will need to move around the map to do so!

Gruniożerca
Controls
Use the arrows to run the guinea pigs, which catch vegetables in a rush. Press X to change the guinea pig to the right one.
Rules
Grunio (dark) and Dida (light) love to munch vegetables. But Grunio prefers carrots and Dida prefers parsley. Crunch the vegetables falling from the sky keeping in mind the guinea pigs' preferences and making sure the vegetables don't fall to the ground.
Behind the scenes
Gruniożerca is a series of games started in 2016 by Luke "dizzy9" Kura. At the time, he created a small arcade game for the NES/Pegasus console and donated its cartridges to the arhn.eu website's Gramytatywnie charity campaign. Starring: Grunio, the guinea pig™, the site's mascot. Grunio has become a small internet phenomenon and has lived to see two (internationally award-winning, seriously!) sequels in recent years. In 2017, Dizzy agreed to release the source code for the first part of the game online. That one is available here. With its simple gameplay and adorable mascot, Gruniozer has become a well-liked "entry-level project" for novice developers, and the task of porting it to all possible platforms a small challenge for homebrew developers.

Aidez les moutons à traverser la rivière !

Read all steps before proceeding with the installation. Feedback is appreciated!
- If you want to avoid the headache of Step 4, I recommend using a Pi or other Linux computer to write the installation image to the SD card! It can be the same Pi you use for the Lite installation, you just need to switch SD cards to change OSs.
Hello everyone,
I haven't seen any tutorials for doing exactly this so I thought it would be helpful if there was a guide for anyone who specifically just wants a little portable machine that launches PICO-8 after booting, and without using Retropie or a desktop environment. This installation won't have a super fast boot like PICOPi (https://github.com/keints/picopi) but it will have online functionality and will be a great starting point for a physical fantasy console project.
The whole process takes about 45 minutes to complete
Things you will need:
- The latest PICO-8 for Raspberry Pi zip: https://www.lexaloffle.com/games.php?page=updates
- Raspberry Pi (any model) setup with a display and keyboard

Bonjour,
j'ai créé un jeu sur pico 8, et j'ai besoin de vos connaissances pour corriger des erreurs.
Lorsque l'on crée des sprites, nous avons plusieurs pages de sprites. 0, 1, 2 ,3.
J'ai rempli tous les sprites pour mon jeu et utilisé les 4 pages, mais dans mon jeu, la page de sprite 2 est générée automatiquement, au hasard, dans les emplacements vides. Cela fait un désordre dans les cases que je n'occupe pas dans mon jeu. Connaissez vous la solution svp ????
Je Vous le montre dans l'exemple ci dessous...
