A simple SameGame clone with limited and endless modes.
Rules
In SameGame, you need to remove groups of like-coloured tiles from a randomly-generated board. Clearing larger groups of tiles will award you more points. You cannot remove individual tiles.
Tiles will fall downwards if the tiles below them have been removed. If a column is cleared completely, all of the tiles to the right of it will be shifted left to close the gap.
Modes
Both modes start with the grid full of random tiles.
- Normal Mode
In Normal Mode, the goal is to remove as many tiles from the board as possible. The score and move counters don't really mean much in this mode. - Endless Mode

> The year is 1974. You just got out of the theater and saw that scary shark flick. As you walk home thinking about the movie, you pass an arcade and there it is: A brand-new game based on the movie you just saw. You check your pockets for quarters. Let's do this.
This is my entry for the 2024 FishFest Game Jam. Help Kalea the shark get her dinner. But beware! Barrels of gunpowder, harpoons, and a guy named Quint are out to hurt you. Try to string fish bites together for more points.
How to play
Hold Z or X and release to jump out of the water and eat fish.
Avoid barrels, harpoons and oxygen tanks!

Here's a proof-of-concept for a zoomable camera:
Features
- Multiple cameras
- Set target coordinates, drawn at the camera center
- Set zoom factor, for drawing scaled map and sprites
Functionality
- camera.get_center()
- camera.set_target(x, y)
- camera.get_target()
- camera.start_draw()
- camera.draw_map(tx, ty, tw, th, x, y)
- camera.draw_spr(s, x, y)
- camera.draw_sspr(sx, sy, sw, sh, x, y)
- camera.end_draw()
Relies on this smap function. Code is below or via GitHub.

Is there a way for a keyboard entry when I need an integer from the user?
Especially for this:
https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=141477
On the line of
local playerHand = drawCards(5,cardDeck) |
to which 5 can be modified…
btw can the F keys be overridden to a specific integer? (ie. pressing F12 for an integer of 12)

This is a silent tutorial video; skip to 2:10 for the juicy bit:
This is an animated wallpaper that shows your custom PNG files -- just place them in a particular folder! It also works as a screensaver. It's cpu-friendly, only drawing during transitions.
Installing
load #photo_carouselmkdir /appdata/system/wallpaperssave /appdata/system/wallpapers/photo_carousel.p64- run the cart once, to generate the appdata folder
cd /appdata/photo_carouselfolder- using your host OS, copy any PNG files into this folder (don't put them in subfolders)
- set your wallpaper to
photo_carouselin System Settings
Settings
Run podtree /appdata/photo_carousel/settings.pod to edit the settings. Be sure to not press enter while editing (this crashes Picotron 0.1.0e) and you must save with the mouse, not ctrl-s (another Picotron bug(?) -- ctrl-s saves the current cart, instead of the settings file)
Set the transition time to 0 to disable transitions

How to play:
Arrows to move, X to start. You can step twice, before most monsters stepping once. There are exceptions to this rule.
Find Swords and Shields to help you overcome the enemy horde!
Search the key, uncover where the trapdoor is, and progress further to grab the McGuffin.

Currently a demo, still a lot of things to add.

Rebootr is a game about porn addiction, each level represents a situation you're faced with, each little red guy represents urges trying to get to you, each little green guy represents a task you have to accomplish.
Get as far as you can into the dungeon, run away from the red guys, run after the green ones.

Picotron will convert all path/url strings to lowercase, invalidating some URLs.
I've uploaded a few small files (lowercase_file.txt, UPPERCASE_file.txt and incorrect_case.txt) to showcase this
function _init()
--will try to fetch "lowercase_file.txt"
lower = fetch("https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/files/51368/lowercase_file.txt")
--will try to fetch "uppercase_file.txt"
upper = fetch("https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/files/51368/UPPERCASE_file.txt")
--will try to fetch "incorrect_case.txt"
wrong = fetch("https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/files/51368/INCORRECT_case.txt")
end
function _draw()
cls()
?lower.."\n\n" --should succeed, succeeds
?upper.."\n\n" --should succeed, fails (notice how error specifies a request to "uppercase_file.txt")
?wrong.."\n\n" --should fail, succeeds
end |
this issue has been addressed in the future 0.1.0f update

How do you detect ANY keyboard key being pressed on the Picotron? btnp() returns a number if you pass no argument so you can check if it is greater than zero to see if any controller button is pressed. keyp() only returns true or false whether you pass any arguments or not.

Agent Seeker
A PICO-8 Spy Hunter demake/remake/homage
Overview
Agent Seeker is a fast-paced, reflex-taxing game built in the style of the original Spy Hunter, one of the greatest video games ever created. [no citation needed]

Controls
Arrow keys/D-Pad: Drive (l/r to steer, up for gas, down for brake)
Z key / O button: fire machine guns (front-facing, infinite ammunition)

I'm hoping you can figure out the gameplay controls, but beyond that - L = load the sample level (you may recognize it), E = enter/exit edit mode, G = eliminate excess grind rails, S = save to printh output, left click = place object, right click = change object, mouse wheel = elevation change, Q = rotate object, D = delete at cursor.

Reading my latest tech news seems to suggest that Apple will allow emulator apps on the iPhone. I know PICO8 isn't an emulator like the console ones, but it sounds like it might fall under this line I read from the Ars report:
"Apps may offer certain software that is not embedded in the binary, specifically HTML5 mini apps and mini games, streaming games, chatbots, and plug-ins."
I don't know jack about making apps, getting the approved, or any of the rules they have to abide by...just saw it and my first reaction was hoping it meant something like Splore could become an app and load our games on the phone...??

Made this to try my hand at using sin and cos to draw shapes. plus i just wanted to make some snow :3 I overclocked it with the number of snowflakes because i wanted to see as many as possible. the framerate drops aren't so bad for the subject matter anyway...
EDIT: 1.1 Update!
- number of flakes and max radius fluctuates now so it's a much more dynamic screensaver
- refactored the code in a separate lua file for easy implementation into other projects
- "manual" mode with button inputs for messing around, also intended for anyone who wants to use this for their own thing. to access this, load the cart and set "manual" to true in snowflakes.lua

PHOTOSENSITIVE EPILEPSY (PSE) - SEIZURE WARNING FLICKERING IMAGES!
Just finished a write-up on this but managed to lose it somehow, so here's the short version.
Trying to write a couple of my own Triangle Fill algorithms before digging into any of the ideas presenting in this thread:

One of the algorithms I tried poorly "borrows" ideas from Brenesenham's Line Drawing Algorithm found here:

Optimal Popsicle Obstacle
More of a brain twister than a tongue twister
You run an out-of-the-oridnary popsicle stand, setting out your treats at night and only selling them at the end of the day. Within this time, they can melt, sog, or even worse. Your profit depends on how well you can stick, stack and freeze together your goods in order to create the optimal popsicle obstacle.
