I'm experiencing an issue with Picotron. I have two monitors, and I would like to have Picotron running in full screen on one monitor while using a web browser on the other. This way, I can research and switch back and forth between tasks.
However, when I click on anything outside the Picotron window, it minimizes itself. Is there a way to fix this behavior? I know I can run it in windowed full screen, which would solve the issue, but I prefer to use proper full screen. It seems odd for it to minimize every time it loses focus.
Is there a solution for this?

Sherbet Shuffle was a quick game I threw together this weekend inspired by the Arcade Paradise mini-game Stack Overflow.
Match all the same flavor ice cream together in two different game modes. Casual mode has no timer, you can reshuffle the puzzle with the new button if you get yourself stuck with no penalty, and it's just there to be a relaxing time. Career mode starts you with 180 seconds, and you gain a few seconds every time you make a match of 4. If you get yourself stuck you can reshuffle the puzzle with a 10 second penalty, so it is recommended that you start with Casual mode until you know how the puzzles work.
Every puzzle is possible, as you have two hands that can each grab a scoop of ice cream, but since these scoops can only be placed on top of the same flavor or an empty cone, you can get yourself stuck if you aren't paying attention, and will need to reshuffle the puzzle. You can figure out some nifty tricks since you can grab two different scoops, and you can maneuver yourself across some sticky situations.

Quick loader for picowesome v1.5. Place games in carts/picowesome/[genre]/name.p8.png. The square brackets around the genre directory are necessary.
The previous version was working with an older pico-8 version's limitation with the ls system command. At that time, the ls called from a cart could only look at the root directory. This was changed in v0.2.5 I believe.
Cart must be saved local in your carts directory to work.
Download picowesome 1.5 for here:

The RP3 can be had for cheap. Could it run Picotron with a suitable Linux installation? The RP4 is twice as expensive and I won't mention the RP5.
I was thinking of setting up a small dedicated machine for Picotron.
Do you have an installation like this? Tell me about your setup.

HeadKnight
Defenders of the kingdom
This is the title of my little game project I've been working for a while, even as it's development has slowed down due to life events it still continuing and I'm happy to announce I'm releasing a small demo of the game.
It's a simple arena horde 2d game where you kill enough monsters to proceed to the next horde until the boss horde.
Currently there's only 1 boss, a couple hordes and an infinite mode, with 5 playable characters, 3 enemies and 2 items.
Planned features are coop multiplayer, dialogues between characters and the bosses, a full story, more enemies and bosses and much more.
Controls:
Left-Right : direct the player left and right

This is yet another implementation of snake and my first pico8 cartridge. I've shamelessly "borrowed" some of the code from nemo_dev's nemosnake for the particle effects. Thanks nemo_dev! It could probably use a bit more polish, but I need to let this one go and move on.
Feedback is welcome. :)

I saw this youtube video a while ago and decided to recreate the stuff from the video
turned out pretty cool. In the code you can easily edit stuff like add more variants, make more particles etc.
you can use it as background, i think it works well.
use up to make a new simulation
thanks for checking it out

boxing (1.1)
Single-Player is now supported :)
A fun multiplayer game. fight with up to 4 friends and have a blast.
Choose a color and get going. Controller supported 👍
-
Pressing shift will show the controls for all players.
-
d-pad/joystick/arrow keys to move
-
one button to dash (you deal more damage)
- other one to block (a failed block will result in a self-stun)
I have no idea how and what all the things in the music editor do. So if someone wants to make some smashing sound-effects for the game (or music) that be great.
Have fun playing :)

Some small game I have been working on that I managed to not quite finish.
There are some bugs I still need to adress and I don't like how the transitions turned out.
Fixing the issues requeres a lot of the code to be rewritten because the current version is a bit messy.
Would like some feedback on wether the concept even works too.

A small little scanline test I made out of boredom..
I know it isn't top-tier, or the most efficient, but I tried, atleast.
If you care a bit for how this was done, I basically set a couple FOR loops, get certain pixels' color, retrieve a certain value from a table, set a pixel with the recently retrieved value from that table at the position of the pixel that we retrieved its' color from, and, then, repeat that ~8192 times, and then you got some mediocre scanlines! :D
I get that was a bit vague, but if you want a more detailed explanation, just look inside the cartridge.
(passive aggressiveness not intended.)

so i didn't know if i was gonna share this or not, but I've spent a bit of time on this version.
Additions
battle system rewrite:
battle system was written a while back and needed to be cleaned up. now it is
battle loading:
battles can now be triggered by the init_btl() function. it is currently being used during NPC interaction and wild encounters, which work but are currently disabled. In addition, NPCs havea new interaction node that triggers a battle. You can try it out by answering "no" to the NPC.
code improvements in loading data:
cleaned up, rewrote, and overall made loading data neater and more token-efficient. a new read() function added to assist in this mission. All parts of the code written as table

Pico 8 Linux Laptop
Intro
The guide below shows how to configure a laptop to automatically boot and launch Pico 8. The laptop will shutdown when the SHUTDOWN command is issued in Pico 8 console.

If Windows is installed use MMC / Disk Management to shrink the Windows partition.
Install Ubuntu 22.04 Server (e.g. USB - press ESC or F2 to enter bios);
After booting the Ubuntu 22.04 Server Installer:
- Select Install Ubuntu Minimal
- If you want to keep Windows, make sure you are not overwriting the partition. Ubuntu will dual-boot if not installed on a full disk.
- During installation, configure the administrative user. You will use this to update Pico8, etc.
