Hello, an Android App named "P8GO" has appeared. It's been making the rounds in retro handheld communities because it allows to play Pico-8 games (with a splore-like function) in Android systems, something that we have been lacking.
However, I have doubts about this app. It looks like all it does is be a web container for lexaloffle. But there doesn't seem to be any affiliation between the author and lexaloffle. It doesn't seem to have ads of any sort, but it does have a required login after you play a few games.
Basically, what I am asking is: Is this cool to use? Are we cool?
Outside of those concerns, it's a very good experience as an app. Of course, Pico 8 games are a great thing to play and it has a swipe feature to quickly switch between games.

Picomm
An IRC-like internet messenger
I've made a messenger app for the picotron.
You can change your nick, a channel and chat with people there.
There are +- unlimited amount of channels (gui only allows for 16 characters, but API works with larger numbers)
Libraries used:
It doesn't work in the browser :(
This project is still in a pretty early stage of a development but it works and you
can chat with people and have some confidence that your messages will arrive to others.

A lil thing for Pico-1k jam
Type out the source code for the game itself!
I think this one was more fun to make than it is to play. It presented interesting challenges like how the cartridge stores its own code, a or using escape characters.

Please read all of this. It'll only take a minute and it'll teach you how to use this cart.
The ultimate cake factory!
Build your own production line! You can use conveyor belts, springs, antigravity zones, and more!
How to get started:
open the cart file in your pico-8 editor. (Sadly, an in-game editor has not yet been implemented in this version). Go to the map editor! To summon cakes, place a green dispenser. To move the cakes, use various tools to build a path, such as conveyor belts, springs, and antigravity zones. Once a cake finishes its journey, the only way to delete it is to drop it out of the world.
THINGS TO NOTE:
-To turn off the 3D map, change MAP_3D in the _INIT() function to FALSE.

Hey @zep ! I just wanted to call a specific bug with the new UI's to attention. First off, the new ui's look great, but they have been causing issues with Code blocks in previews, on a user's page. Take a look.
As you can see, since the code block isnt technically being closed, since the preview is cutting it off, its eating up the continue reading button! This isnt the most site-breaking issue, but it is still annoying. You can see this by visiting my blog page and scrolling down to "CCGA".
Thank you for reading!

Hi, I was challenged to make a game in a week, so here we are. I may have just used Slepi a retxture of Jelpi so half the code (plat former part) is all of Zeps code, since I had to cram a lot in such a short amount of time. Sadly due to having a week I only made 1 music for the plat former part no background for the "kill owl" and "boil owl" sections of the game (Ps in the "boil owl part there are invisible walls I did not have time to get rid of them since I was rushing, sorry for that)

In VHS Vault: Sokoban Sepulcher, work is a nightmare. Welcome to the graveyard shift!
Lit only by flickering TVs and neon red exit signs, putting away tapes isn't just your job... it's your doom! As the static clears, you realize that you're not alone. Classic monsters crawl out of the displays to hunt you down in this puzzlehouse of terror!
Overcome fiendish sokoban challenges while dodging dimly lit horrors lurking among the shelves. Will you be quick enough to pop in the final tape and escape before they close in... or will you star in a gruesome finale?
At the VHS Vault, you can rewind the tapes - but not your fate!
Made in collaboration with my friends Andy (who is responsible for all the amazing art) and Jimch (programmer, game designer, and puzzle game stan) for the Scream TV game jam. Music by the wonderful @Gruber. The technique for dynamic lighting came from @krajzeg's great writeup. Much level design inspiration was taken from David W. Skinner's Microban puzzles.

V0.3
Overview
This is a sequencer that plays sounds from a waveform memory mechanism through PCM.
It achieves several things that could not be done with the Pico-8 standard tracker.
Operation
Mainly mouse operations.
When you press a key on the keyboard, it makes a sound
Basic screen
- Channel tab: Left click to select, mouse wheel to mute/unmute.
- Channel panel: Mouse wheel to adjust sequence speed (0-63), left click to open view.
- Space bar to play track.
- Press and hold enter to open the menu.

A simple graphical demo for the PICO-1K Jam 2024 which creates an animated pattern similar to the spiral pattern that seeds in a sunflower make.
I'd played around with this in lockdown using Java libGDX and decided to port it to PICO-8 for the 1K jam.
You can use the left and right arrows to change the radius of the dots.
The compressed byte size of the cartridge is 312. I've made little effort to save bytes because the program is so simple in the first place.

Sorry everyone, I explained my problem poorly, let's go again this time. Well, it turns out that out of curiosity I wanted to open my save files in the file explorer and it asked me to open it with an application and it gave me to choose an application and I put win rar and then it told me that it couldn't be opened and I decided to publish the project but it told me that it was invalid and then I tried to open it with peak 8 but it didn't work it kept saying that it was invalid so what should I do? thanks for the help

A simplex noise implementation that I grabbed from Github (https://github.com/weswigham/simplex) and made it work in Picotron (only had to replace bit.band with native & bit operation, and made the simplex variable global since picotron doesnt seem to support return values from files). Performance doesn't look super great (?) - I tried converting it to use userdata for vector operations but it didnt seem to improve much.
For example, the main cart code is this:
include "simplex.lua"
local colors={0,1,19,3,27,11,26,10,7}
function mapcol(t)
t=max(0,min(1,t))
local n=#colors
return colors[flr(t*n)+1]
end
--n will be the "seed"
n=0
function noise(x,y)
x+=n*10000
return simplex.Noise2D(x,y)
+ 0.5*simplex.Noise2D(2*x,2*y)
+ 0.25*simplex.Noise2D(4*x,4*y)
end
function _draw()
cls()
flip()
for x=0,479 do
for y=0,269 do
local t = (noise(x/50,y/50)+1)/2
pset(x,y,mapcol(t))
