Orange Hill
Howdy, this is my first cartridge/wallpaper.
How to use
To add this to your picotron wallpapers type this in Terminal (which assumes you've already created a /appdata/system/wallpapers folder):
load #orange_hill save /appdata/system/wallpapers/orange_hill.p64.png |

Today I finished some code restruction,from scatch and noticed I forgot to "copy" the sprites and the map and no problem
export foo.png //nice
export foo.map.png //nice
and easy
import foo.png //nice
and
import foo.map.png //ups just spritesheet is full
? okay
import map foo.map.png //nope
Of Course I can just copy the code to the cart with the map I want, but is there a command I didn't found? There are parameter import foobar.png -L, that do not help me.
The Pico-8 manual has only export map...

I discovered that the following statement was making my PICO-8 application crash with an error of [2] 76047 illegal hardware instruction /Applications/PICO-8.app/Contents/MacOS/pico8 crash-example.p8.
print("|⁴ュ◝り◝T⁷Z◜」\0ク◝あ⁶¹²ヌ◝、\0$²へヲ¹\0そ◝メ¹ˇャ9\0ヌ◝ク¹エャ■\0\0\0⁙²Nョ:\0005\0て³ᶠョ◜◝な◝ャ\0キ¹オ◝{\0]¹x⁵ュ◝◀\0ャ\0uャハ◝キ◝け²ンャ9\0\n\0し³テョ⁷\0009\0J⁶◆ッ\0\0k\0オ³9⁵³\0ッ◝し⁶u²⁸\0は◝O⁷") |
This does not happen when running the line from pico-8-edu.com, or from the web export of the cartridge.
I am on version 0.2.6B of the Mac OSX PICO-8. My platform is a 2014 MacBook Pro running macOS 11.7.4.

Bot the Builder
Play as a robot and build platforms to scale up a mountain. With 19 puzzles, approach every solution creatively and get to the top!
About the game
The game was originally made for the GMTK 24 game jam ("Built to Scale"). This version (v1.1) adds multiple QoL changes and improvements, to be a fun and fresh experience for anyone :)
In the cart you'll find:
- An in-game speedrun clock (if beating games fast is what you want)
- An in-game placed blocks counter, to improve your personal score
- An option menu to customize the game to your liking (activate or disable music, screenshake, HUD elements and change inputs)

Hello,
I'm a beginner programmer, trying to figure out good practice. To be honest, I get a lot of joy out of refactoring code even though I know it's more important to create something of value. Seems to give my brain comfort.
I've been creating a card game and realised that one of my challenges is that I have a card object that has some game logic associated with it but I'm also mixing up a bunch of presentation information on that card. It's getting messy.
Which got me thinking about trying to separate concerns. Wondering what the community's view is on an approach like below?
The general idea here is that a card needs to know nothing about its presentation (but is linked to its presentation). It's a bidirectional link, a card_view is related to its card.
Obviously, in a game where there are not a lot of objects, this might be overkill.
function _init()
renderer = Renderer:new()
animator = Animator:new()
deck = {}
x_offset, y_offset, i = 0, 0, 0

the issue
when you open the readme on Linux, it's empty.when you open it in an external editor, it shows -[[pod]] then a load of gibberish. for whatever reason, when i try to copy paste said gibberish, it comes up with this:
--[[pod]] lz4 |
I'm not sure if it's user error (I'm quite new to picotron) or something else.

Some food may require chopping before being fried.
Don't leave food on the frying pan for too long, or it may burn.

Tweetcart- all source code is 280 characters or less.
Edit in Education edition here!
The blue lines indicate the trajectory of simulated particles as they are pulled by the planets' gravity. If a particle hits a planet (one of the colored outlines) it colors its originating pixel the color of that planet. If a particle doesn't hit a planet within a certain number of steps in the simulation, it colors the originating pixel black.

Docs currently doesn't work on the BBS.
Introduction
Docs has been built so that it can be a helpful companion while you code. It is built so that others can add their own files to docs if their app requires documentation.
Installation
In the terminal run load #docs and then save it with save apps/docs.p64
Updating
To update the documentation in Settings click "Force Update".
Note
The Picotron documentation is currently being added, and so the current version has incomplete information. If you would like to help write the documentation feel free to reach out to me.

Recently, I've been working on a word-typing game called Catreeboard with my son. At the beginning and to simply get the game to a state where we could work on animations and gameplay, I naively created a simple table-based dictionary that is subdivided by length of the word. It looked something like this:
dictionary = {
{
"a",
"i",
"on",
"at",
"it",
"is",
},
{
"cat",
"dog",
"sun",
"hat",
"bat",
"pen",
},
{
"home",
"love",
"ball",
"star",
"blue",
},
{
"house",
"quick",
"plant",
