Carrot Up is a cute shmup!
🥕 you're a carrot in a bunny's dream
🐰 satisfy hungry bunnies by throwing carrot tops at them
💥 beware! If you don't feed them fast enough, they'll come bite you and throw dust bunnies at you
🧃 collect juice boxes and choose between restoring HP or making a big spread shot of baby carrots (bunny satisfaction guaranteed)
Controls
- use arrows to move
- use X to shoot carrot tops
- use Z to spread-shoot baby carrots
- use P or enter to pause
Juice Boxes
Collect carrot juice boxes and use z to shoot carrot babies! The more boxes you save, the more baby carrots your spread shot will contain. Or collect up to 5 boxes to restore one health - if you have all your HP, collecting 5 boxes will grant you extra points! ✨

Request: Have the output of TRACE tell you tab and line number within the tab. Presently it tells line number from the beginning of the entire file.
I use TRACE, and I also use tabs in the editor.
Is there a way to get tab-based line numbers in the output of TRACE? otherwise the line numbers in the output are not so useful.
Here is my code:
local _ALIVE, EX = coresume(self.COR)
if EX then
printh(trace(self.COR, EX))
color(7)
stop("\nCOROUTINE ERROR, SEE TERMINAL")
end |
thank you!

Hello everyone
I'm new here and don't really have much experience with Pico-8 or Picotron, but I'm trying to learn by doing and of course I didn't start with the easiest task

I'm trying to understand how to decode copied sprites PODs or their base64 content. I'm trying to see the sprite data in e.g. bytes, or any format I could use to recreate the sprite in another programme.
I tried to decode the b64 code with the Linux command base64 --decode and I get a file starting with lz4. When I then try to decode the file with the command lz4 -t (https://github.com/lz4/lz4/) I get the error message:
Error 44 : Unrecognized header : file cannot be decoded
Could someone give me a nudge in the right direction

Hello y'all! I made a fun little project to test the dset and dget functions. Didn't know I could save data in a PICO8 game! Hope you like it <3

demo instructions in the cart itself, code
all tiles connect with each other by default, but that's changeable in the update_tile method.
feel free to make modifications, additions, optimisations, etc
made for a quite large and special sorta-secret project ;)

i cant program like i normally do anymore and its messing with my brain HOW DO I FIX THIS????
to be more specific, pressing arrow keys selects text, rather than just moving the cornel, so you cant type "print()" as a base, because then when you try to type inside of it, it replaces the end parentheses with the contents you type in, aka, the main way i program is broken, AND I CANT FIX IT PLS FREE ME FROM THIS PSYCOLOGICAL TORTURE

Hey y'all! I'm trying to recreate the building explosion that begins at 2:42 in this clip from Contra III.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoQBfWT4v28&t=159s
More specifically, I'd like to know how to efficiently animate the sprites of the building to recreate the sinking effect. Can anyone share a conventional approach to this?

I want to write a post on a PICO-8 color study I did about a year ago. I think it has potential to help PICO-8 artists new and seasoned. I'm not an art student or a journal writer, I just want to write a post about my discovery, but I'm poor at writing walkthroughs.

If anyone has tips, I'd be thrilled to hear them out.

welcome to picotrons v0.8
A game about picotricity and what you can do with it.
This is a early concept and I would like to build upon this even further. If anyone has any suggestions, please share :)
place picotrons with:
- lb: vertical
- rb: horizontal
- mb: spining
- x: source
- c: static
Ui:
-
left side is "edit":
now if you press a picotron it will change to 1 of 4 states -
right side is "delete":
now if you press a picotron it will be deleted -
the skull delets everything, press it or use the key "d"
- Press "I" for the cpu info.
I am struggling to make the picotrons have a stable connection, It doesnt work if you place a static then the source.
You need to place the source always first. So if someone could help resolve this it would be great, thanks in advance.
share your creations, and have fun :)

And It's Over
On a rather shitty day in August 2024, the world changed forever. Mankind was invaded and completely annihilated by alien invaders from outer space. To make matters worse, Antonette was on the verge of winning for the first time at her regular bingo night. As everyone around her turned into particles, she not only survived, but evolved into something more powerful and angry. So she turned her wrath on the invaders who had killed all her friends and rained on her bingo parade.
About
And It's Over is a single level bullet hell shmup with a nod to bonus letters from a bygone era. Back in the day, you could master arcade games by collecting the word "bonus" to get a higher score. It also features a bingo game mechanic using the bonus letters to unlock over 16 alternative color schemes.

Hey all,
I'm noticing a slight audio delay when using the native app for Linux, as well as the raspberry pi version (on a Linux handheld). This delay is not present on the web player. I've tested a few games with the same results. I notice it in the boot up sequence as well, so it seems to be a global issue. Is this expected behavior? It's not game breaking, but it's noticeable. Thanks.
I'm running the Linux version on a Chromebook - no other apps have audio lag.
I'm running the Pi version with Knulli on an Anbernic RG35XX plus.

Has anyone had any success running Voxatron on Windows 11? I am getting a crash at boot, immediately. The error is in the title. I've tried Directx updates, .NET updates, compatibility mode. No dice.
