Original game by @crimson2877
I noticed that for some reason the shields in the game weren't doing anything, so I went and fixed it myself. It seems like @crimson2877 was using the base strength of the monster, instead of the one calculated directly before. Note that this does make the game considerably easier.

あすにはあすのかぜがふく
Tomorrow’s winds will blow tomorrow
A torii gate stands, braced against the wind, in the middle of the lake. Snow falls from grey clouds and only the feintest silhouette of the sun is visible.

I recently got PICO-8 with Picotron and Voxatron. The default icons looked out of place on my Mac and I decided to make icons and post them here for other Mac users.
The icons are for PICO-8, Picotron, Voxatron, Lexaloffle BBS, PicoCAD, and PicoSynth.
The icons are images that can be saved from the browser for use on a Mac running Big Sur or higher.

Block Buster
A simple but addictive falling block game where you swap stacks of coloured blocks to prevent any stack from reaching the top. Includes 2 timed modes and an endless mode with their own highscores.
How to play
Move the cursor left and right and press O to swap the selected stacks.
Press down to drop the blocks faster, or X to immediately drop them to the top of the stack.
As you match blocks the speed that they fall will increase. For endless mode higher levels apply a multiplier to the score.
In timed mode see how many blocks you can match within 2 or 5 minute rounds.
Development
In late August I was looking to keep myself occupied with a simple coding project while I waited for my other half to go into labour. The code comes in well under the token limit at 3833 tokens, 90% of which was written in one day and I've slowly added bits of polish in the time since. The hardest part for me was trying to make such a simple game visually interesting. I'm fairly happy with how it's turned out and now I can finally push my first release to the BBS some 4 years after I became excited by PICO-8! :)

Fast Asleep
A fast-paced arcade game about counting sheep to fall asleep! Open gates to let sheep in - but be careful not to let any wolves in!
Keep counting sheep to stay asleep. Letting wolves in the pen is not automatically a game over... Instead it increases the speed of the sleep/wake meter - making the game harder.
Gameplay is similar to the mobile game Timberman.
How to play
- Use the X and O buttons to navigate the menus.
- Use the UP arrow key to open the top gate. Use the DOWN arrow key to open the bottom gate.

I've seen many people on the BBS/Discord struggling to grapple with intermediate pixel art concepts, so I wanted to write a post commemorating Pixel Art etiquette so that you, even you, reader, can create your own pixel art.
What is Pixel Art?
Pixel art is any drawing made from a set palette of colors where the colors act as though limited by a grid. Pixel art is art made from squares. It was widely used in early video game and computer graphics, and has grown a large following for its pleasing aesthetic.
Why Should I Learn Pixel Art?
There is no formal reason to learn pixel art. It is not often enough to stake a career on. In many circles, pixel art is considered dated, if not obsolete. The only reason to learn pixel art is for the fun of learning pixel art within itself, though it does have applications within stylized/indie game development and graphic design for retro machines. If you master pixel art, you may also find an improved skill in art and graphic design.

PHOTOSENSITIVITY WARNING:
Contains flashy rapidly changing text.
The text in the cart should explain what this is well enough; this idea was borrowed from a friend, and is based on the classic "infinite monkey theorem" (which I was very surprised to learn is the actual name). After hearing about this idea, I wanted to implement it into PICO-8, thinking it would make for an interesting little text effect. I don't think it has any practical application, but I created an alternate mode (activated with X) which reminds me of a hacking scene, the kind you'd find in a movie that doesn't know what hacking is about.

A wallpaper similar to pattern.p64, except that some parts of the screen have inverted colors. (Due to the use of fill patterns, this wallpaper assumes a 8x8 theme desktop_pattern, larger patterns will be clipped)

Mac OS X Tiger-style dock application.
Does not work in the web player.
Works best when saved to desktop and ran by double-clicking.
Current features:
- Customisable program shortcuts (edit /appdata/dock/dock.txt)
- Loads icons from application metadata
- Automatic size adjustment
- Follows user theme
- Displays below or above every window (user selectable)
- Reacts to user mouse in a way similar to the OS X Tiger dock
Not supported, but I might add these in the future:
- [Very Likely] Custom positions ("north", "east", "south", "west", etc.)
- [Quite Likely] Selectable orientation (landscape or portrait)

I need help adding a variable to a menu. I've created simple menus that I can add plain text to with "", but I have no idea how to add a variable to that menu.
Context is that the variable is a hunger meter that will go down periodically. I want the menu to display the current number of hunger.
