Tablut
A two-player, turn-based board game, where a king in his castle is ambushed from all sides and must escape.
How To Play
Player One plays as the attacking team (red pawns), and Player Two plays as the defending team (blue pawns).
The king starts at the center position, and is marked with a golden crown.
When selecting a pawn, valid moves are marked on each tile on the board. You can move horizontally or vertically by selecting a pawn and then selecting any valid position that is marked on the board.
To kill an enemy, you must surround them from two sides, either horizontally or vertically.
For example (o
represents an attacker, x
represents a victim):
@zep o/
0.2.6b / linux:
- launch pico8 executable
- run
poke(0x5f54,0x80)
(in the console) - run
reboot
- run
poke(0x5f54,0x80)
(copied from the 0.2.6 release notes) - the executable crashes
Step 2 is optional -- it still crashes in step 5 if you skip step 2
In Step 4, running poke(0x5f54,0x60)
instead does not crash.
I'm not sure how to get a stacktrace on my machine, or if it's even possible. this is the best I know how to do:

On all threads containing an embedded cart, I am unable to see the Code by clicking Code and I see a horizontal scrolling bar (that does nothing) instead.
I can still download the .p8.png fortunately (and that's required to also get data/resources anyway) but sometimes I just want to have a peek at some algo before deciding to dive deeper or not.
Just wanted to share my second PICO-8 game. I've been chipping away at this slowly for the last few months and was inspired this week to finally finish it!
Play against a friend via pass-and-play or challenge the computer. For fun, you can even pit two computer players against each another. Use it as the world's slowest coin-tossing machine! :)
Loom 1.2
A Laser-packed game, how long can you survive?
This game was made in two days. If anyone wants to make some good music then please do so, thanks.
You can pause to go to clean mode or enable quick death. Also you can reset your highscore.
My best is 65 seconds. I just updated the game, is it better with the more askew lasers?
Stages
Stages will be added to the game the more score you get. if you are at the very beginning, its easy.
But the longer you survive, the more things will be added to the game to make it harder.
-
Just lasers
-
Aim Lasers
-
Super Lasers & even more Aim Lasers
- Cluster drop-Lasers & even even more Aim Lasers
Hiya! I've been working on this little puzzle game for a few months and its finally done!

Good luck and I hope you enjoy! 🐛

story time
Hello! this update came out really fast as far as this major feature being added. this is because i had been working on this part in a separate project as i was making the rest of the engine. It loads an image compressed into a string. there are some improvements i wouldve wanted to make but it didnt seem worth the token cost. anyways it works now. this was a major feature that i had to have in the game for it to be worth the challenge.
So I'm trying to use two sprite sheets per frame in my game using the new high memory video mapping. at the start of the game the video memory is moved to 0x8000. there are special sprites that are loaded from a string into 0xa0. What im trying to do is quickly switch to 0xa0, load/draw the compressed sprite, then switch back to the 0x80 sprite sheet. for some reason loading the sprite into 0xa0 overwrites sprites at the same position in 0x80, which is my main issue here. if anyone has advice or help id appreciate, i understand its a new feature so its not as well documented just yet.
copying sprites from video memory to 0x8000 (this is done in _init):
memcpy(0x8000,0x0,0x2000) poke(0x5f54,0x80) poke(0x5f5c,255) |
loading sprite data from string into 0xa000 (this is called sometimes during _update within a decoding function):
poke(0x5f54,0xa0) --load 0xa000 memory --buncha stuff that loads decompressed sprite for i=0,4096do sset(slot*64+i%64,64+i\64,0) [ [size=16][color=#ffaabb] [ Continue Reading.. ] [/color][/size] ](/bbs/?pid=149955#p) |
Splode 'Em Up
Destroy rascally missiles n' bombs with incredibly powerful countermeasures: balloons! Balloons 'splode enemies on impact, but not only that, each different color balloon has a unique special ability.
Explosition
You play Recty, a sentient rectangle with an incredible ability to spawn balloons ad infinitum. Recty hates missiles n' bombs and likes to 'splode as many as possible all the time. It's literally all he ever does.
Gameplay
- Move Recty (the rectangle at the bottom of the screen) left and right.
- Release balloons to try and hit the missiles n' bombs. You can only have one balloon out at a time.
- While you have a balloon, you can pivot it left or right, or even have it float up more quickly.
