first game I've worked on inside of pico-8, can't wait to keep working on it!

Title says it all.
I'm making a horizontal scrolling game with a map 32 screen wide and 1 screen tall, and with the player using extra colors different from the enemy colors. (enemies can't be over or under the player).
For this, I'm using screen rotation, but now I can't use print to display text any more as it appears rotated.
Has anyone already implemented a 90° rotated print function ?

Hi, I encountered a waveform corruption bug while trying to move SFX as part of a multi-composer collaboration project.

On version 0.2.6B

Reproduction steps:

1) Make a custom waveform in SFX 0
2) Make in SFX 1 make a sequence using SFX 0
3) Make in SFX 2 make a sequence using SFX 0
4) Move (cut and paste) SFX 0 to SFX 4
5) Move (cut and paste) SFX 1 to SFX 5
6) Move (cut and paste) SFX 2 to SFX 6
7) Check SFX 4, the data will be corrupted

It seems that this can happen with other combinations but this is the procedure that caused the bug to happen and is reproducible on a fresh cart.

The corruption seem to be an inversion of the sign of alternating sample of some sections of the wave

Controls:

X to shoot

Z to use your strawberry bombs

Arrow keys to move

The only power-ups are the strawberries, nothing else is a power-up.

Story:
You are a space fighter who is currently fighting in the war of Andromeda. You were told to go to fight a battle against the evil aliens and you were told that people would be joining you to fight. But nobody showed up. You are all alone fighting 20 waves of evil aliens. Can you do it? Can you defeat the Gorthen and end it all?

We definitely need an option to download carts in splore. I bought this for my steam deck expecting the standalone app to be, well, standalone. I have to reboot my whole system to access the web browser and file explorer needed to download and add carts. It's very frustrating that such an essential feature was ignored. I doubt there's any chance for a refund, so I guess I'll just have to beg for features that should have been included from the start. Maybe if I'm lucky it'll be added in less than a year. It's only been 9 so far..

Maybe this is overly salty, but it's very frustrating that an implied feature isn't actually present when it's the whole reason I paid for the standalone app in the first place. Buyer beware I guess...

About:

Zap-bot is an homage to the old Gameboy era cheap SBC (single board computer) handleds and their stupid little games, like the Classic and Brick Brick game!

This is a port of the shooter line filler game inside that. Your goal is to clear the lines for as long as you can last!

Controls:

Move with arrow keys left and right.

Shoot with X.

If you all don't care again I need help with object pickups in my game when you pickup an object (artifact) you get a score of 1 point. What I need to know is how to add a spawner for that object and how to make the player pick it up.

Many thanks.

BTW I tried to use a YouTube tutorial with no luck

--pickups
function ipickups()
 pu={
 x=63,
 y=50,
 act=true,
 }
 artifacts=0
end

function upickups()
 if pu.act then
  if abs(px-pu.x)<=4 and abs(py-pu.y)<=4 then
   pu.act=false
 artifacts+=1
  end
 end
end

function dpickups()
 if pu.act then
  spr(6,pu.x,pu.y,4,4)
 end
 print("artifacts: "..artifacts)
end

Hey guys. I was wondering if I could get help to get a game over screen when the enemy collides with the player.
If anyone wants to help comment on your ways to help.

Thank you.

a = {x=10, y=25}

b = a

b.x = 99

print(a.x)

This prints 99 but I assumed it would print 10.
I wrote code with a start table. Then I set a position table equal to the start table. I was hoping to update the position table but reset the position back to the start point at any time I wanted. I tested this out in php to make sure I wasn't crazy and it worked like I expected. I tried it out in strict Lua but it gave the result above. Why does Lua change the a table when I only changed the b? How do I deal with this?

A little game where you have to find the EXIT.

Orange arrows -> The EXIT is on the UP, LEFT, RIGHT, BOTTOM
0 - 9 digit -> The EXIT is at "x" case (manathan distance)
Red arrows -> The EXIT is not on this row / column

Enjoy !
