Hi! I'm a 3D animator and generalist working in the games industry. Usually you'll find me deep in Blender doing all sorts of 3D stuff. But I've always loved pixel art! Recently I've enjoyed making Bitsy games (kednar.itch.io) but I always wished I could add more animations and JUICE to them. So it was about time that I tried Pico-8! (Don't worry Bitsy, my heart is big enough for both of you).
Thankfully there's loads of tutorials and courses, and I followed the Roguelike tutorial by Lazy Devs Academy (thanks Krystian!) which took me all the way here.
I'm posting this cartridge to get used to all this, and to let you all know you inspire me every day! If I ever made a list of "Best games I ever played", there'd definitely be a few made in Pico-8.

Hi,
This is a sort of a clone of Arkanoid.
The game isn't complete. Is missing some music and powerups do nothing for now.
The most significant deviation from the original game is the "Powerbar". It loads every time the ball hit bricks and loads faster you hit several bricks in a row before bouncing in the paddle (ship).
When the Powerbar loads enough, the ball can break tougher bricks with one hit, and when its fully loaded it can destroy every brick, until it hits the ship again.
Have fun! Let me know your thoughts and feedback in the comments.
I've been a developer for 15+ years, but this is the first time I'm attempting to code a video game. I love the Pico-8 community and I'm having a great experience coding.

This is the longest block breaking game ever!
I made my first pico8 game for GMTK Game Jam 2024.

Progress is auto-saved.
Whether the game is running or not, time passes - just like your life.
Enjoy!

Hey all,
I've decided to pursue my game making hobby, I'm as green as they come when it comes to coding/programming.
I've bought PICO-8 and Picotron, I'll be tipping my toes making games with PICO-8 to wrap my head around programming, and my initial end goal is to make a memorable 2D metroidvania game in Picotron.
I'm honestly not sure where to start though, I know there are free content I could watch on YouTube or read on websites, but I'm trying to find the foundational content/book(s) I can cling to and learn from, so I get a good grasp what it takes to be a decent beginner and eventually an independent intermediate game programmer.
Y'all are more than welcome to make some suggestions, I'll do my best to interact with the comments below.
I wish y'all a good day!

I found Pico-8 a few months ago (I've been living under a rock), and I've been having a blast learning it's particular brand of Lua. After nights and weekends of watching @Krystman's Beginner Shmup Tutorial, this is the result. The code is clunky and not optimized at all, but I feel it's a "minimum viable product". Let me know what you think. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Changelog:
-Updated Sidewinder enemy behavior
-Fixed Fly enemy spawning locations so they no longer overlap
-Added text indicators for random enemy spawns (investigating less intrusive replacement)
-Minor bug fixes Defender of Coryx VII
The Va'nals Empire is sweeping through the galaxy, conquering system after system with their fleet of vat-grown bio-mechanical spacecraft. The peaceful people of Coryx VII have never known conflict or war, and are woefully unprepared to face the Va'nals' threat. In a last ditch effort, the greatest minds of Coryx VII gathered together and created the prototype starship X2-SLP "Slipstream", to be piloted by a brave volunteer. Drawing its power from the dreaded bio-mech ships themselves, the Slipstream may be the people of Coryx VII's only hope. Take the controls of the Slipstream, and defend your people!

The Issue
In the relatively short amount of time that I've spent creating in PICO-8 and viewing other PICO-8 developers' creations, I've realized that jittery diagonal movement seems to be one of the most common issues in PICO-8 projects. Through online searches, I've seen a few different methods of preventing this problem, but so far I haven't seen anything that also accounts for accelerating/decelerating velocity. The cart and code below showcases the solution (heavily inspired by the code from two of @Krystman's Lazy Devs videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBjZ1W50brM and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stoDWgR-kF8) that I'm currently using in a WIP game. I'm wondering what other solutions users have found, and would greatly appreciate feedback on how my current method can be improved.
Notes: the code below is not the same code I am using in my WIP game, so recommendations on how to save tokens or make my code cleaner may not be applicable. Additionally, I am not actually following @Krystman's tutorial series, I only used the aforementioned videos for ideas on this specific issue, so if the code was improved on later in the series, I have not seen it.

đ https://itch.io/jam/pico-1k-2024
You have until the end of September to make cool things in PICO-8 (or Picotron)
...by using only 1K (1024) Compressed Bytes of code đī¸
No using of built-in Gfx, Map or Sound data (or external files)
ALL content must be created using code submitted.
It can be a:
đšī¸ Game
đī¸ Demo (Animated or Interactive)
đ ī¸ Tool or Utility
...whatever you can fit within 1KB, basically!

Do you have PICO-8 or you don't have PICO-8 use a PICO-8 Education and type
load #sewesazayathen press enter and then cart loaded then press ctrl+r to run cartridge
Is hardware powerful you press đ ž/â mobile or Z/X PC to run hardware
Thanks to @Pixeled_Peczu to werid but awesome cartridge Image label Someone called us monkeys on typewriters. Had to prompt it. by midjourney on redit using Simple Image Resizer for make PICO-8 Label using Depict by @bikibird in 32 colors mode

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...
