I am trying to run PICO-8 on a Chromebook via the Linux support console Crostini. I have followed a guide (https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=36473) to get it to function, using both the linux x64 and x32 versions of PICO-8 but neither have worked, giving an error saying 'cannot execute binary file: Exec format error' when run. I am seeking support from other people who have experienced similar issues with running PICO-8 on Chromebook.
My system is running on V 122.0.6261.100 (Official Build) (64-bit) of Chrome OS and the laptop build is a Lenovo Duet 3. I have not set up any additional applications (let me know if any are needed) for this process aside from Crostini.
I am attempting to run v0.2.6b of PICO-8.

Help Marcel reach their friend to chill while the hero is away!
This is my first take at making a platformer. I spent all my time and effort on getting a character controller that felt good, so the story and visuals are very bare-bones (pun not intended but let's roll with it).
Controls
- Arrows to run
- O/X to jump
The music can be turned off in the pause menu
Tips
- The longer you press the jump button, the higher you jump
- During a wall slide, you can detach from the wall by pressing the down button
- Similarly, you can go through one-way platforms by pressing the down button
- Spikes don't hurt you if you move away from them

Hello everyone! I'm developing a platformer based on My Hero Academy and for some reason, my player is able to jump while touching a jump-through tile, when they should only be able to jump if they're on top of it.
Does anyone know why this happens?
Code for jumping:
--jump if btn(❎) and player.landed then player.dy-=player.boost player.landed=false end |
Code for landing:
if collide_map(player,"down", flags.base) then player.landed=true player.falling=false player.dy=0 player.y-=((player.y+player.h+1)%8)-1 |

Hi! I've reinstalled pico8 into my pocket chip after upgrading it to debian 11 (bullseye) and installing xfce and pico8 (0.2.6b for pocket chip). Everything seems to work fine except for the top icons that are visible but not clickable (I mean.. I click them but nothing happens) so I cannot switch from the code editor to the sprite editor or the SFX editor etc.. is there something i can do?

PICORHYTHM is a beatmania-style music game.
You can play original music inspired by the VOICEVOX character "WhiteCUL".
This is my first attempt to create a game with PICO-8.
Please note that the use of the character is based on the guideline that secondary creation is allowed with a credit statement.
Character: WhiteCUL

Wash's Game - 2024 Game Jelly
I'm participating in the 2024 Game Jelly and needed a place to stash my project so folks can play it.
v0.4 - Final Day!
We're all done! This was a lot of fun to make and I'm super proud of how it came out.
I will say, I didn't get to balance it much so it's currently very hard, but I plan to do some bug fixes so make sure to post about them here. :)
v0.3 - Day 6
There is now a core game loop though it isn't very flashy at this point and needs more variety.
- Added lots of sprites for future enemies and attacks
- Map now moves!
- Wag attack fades out
- Added sfx for damage, enemies, and picking up bones

Still learning this thing (I am not a programmer). Had an idea for an easy game but wanted to see how I could get blob-type graphics working first to see how they'd potentially look. Kind of fun to watch.

Z -> Shoot
X -> Dash/Bomb (stop moving + press X to switch modes)
(Bombs don't currently work)

This is just a little game I made based off of the "wander" example.
It was really fun to learn how the pico8 works!
Update:
- When you restart the map now resets.
- You now have a bark meter which is refilled by eating
- Mice now have random max speeds to make it a little harder

Hi all, just getting started with saving player data.
cartdata() returns true or false depending on if there was existing cartdata or if it was just created. I am testing initialization of some default cartdata in the case that it returns false but I am having trouble testing this more than once per cartdata ID / per cart. I have tried wiping out 0x5e00-0x5eff with memset(0x5e00,0,0xff) but it doesn't seem to reset the boolean representing the presence of existing cartdata (unless I'm doing this wrong). Does anyone know if there is a way to fully delete/reset cartdata for a given cart/cart ID?
Thanks!

Started work on a game in which a hermit crab looks for a new home. Shelving it for now while I work on some other things but I liked the cute animation of the crab so I figured I would post it. Enjoy.

Tline Terrain Demo
Worms/Scorched Earth deformable/destructible terrain demo.
Arrow keys move target
X to destroy terrain
O to toggle debug mode, showing the vertical slices.
Maybe of use to someone?
For a long time I have wondered how to make Worms/Scorched Earth style terrain and make it work reasonably well. My first ever (unreleased) game on pico-8 was a Worms clone, that used a 2D array of pixels and pset to draw the terrain. It blew the CPU budget and was slooooooow.
Micro Murder on Pico-8 managed a really slick solution drawing circles over the top of the terrain, but I wondered if there was another way. Fast forward some years and I'm still thinking about it. Most discussion about this type of terrain suggests some form of bitmap to store the terrain.

After a long journey, I'm proud to present to you...
parens-8 v3!
...Along with the obligatory demo, a cart that stores its entire game code in ROM:
Parens-8 is a tool for bypassing the pico-8 token limit. It takes up 5% of the allowed 8192 tokens, and gives you practically infinite code space in return: store extra code in strings or cart ROM, load it during init, run it like regular Lua code.
Parens-8 is designed for maximum interoperability with Lua. Functions, tables, values and coroutines can be passed and used seamlessly between Lua and parens-8. Think of parens-8 as Lua semantics with Lisp syntax.
