This is my first attempt at creating a PICO-8 game. I created it based on a submission to a game jam that I made with a friend. Really enjoyed getting to understand the physics properly and was a great intro to the community and tutorial resources around!

Good news! After intensive labor negotiations, Santa's elves have decided not to go on strike. In an effort to meet the elves' demands for less stress and more fun, management has agreed to start the PICO-8 Advent Calendar Bundle a few weeks earlier than normal and manage the project with a game jam on Itch. We're hoping to get far more participants than last year and streamline the onboarding process. Please don your elf cap and join us. https://itch.io/jam/pico-8-advent-calendar-2024

BLORB LIKES CANS. GET CANS!
- DPAD / Cursors to Move
- Hold X to Grab / Retract
- Retract all the way back to the portal to collect a can.
- You only get 1 life ~ CTRL-R to restart if you crash (or open the menu with ENTER).
- There is no sound in space (I mean .. there is no space for sound)
Good luck!
This is a game made in 1024 bytes for PICO-1k Jam 2024, co-designed and pixelled by @castpixel (twitter). It is our third production as POD Design; you can find the first two here and here. BLORB is also up on itch and has a PICO-1K entry page. Thanks as always to @Liquidream for running this great jam, and @thisismypassword for the invaluable Shrinko8!

This is just a little game I made today. It's my own take on the classic game Snake. Use the arrow keys to move.

Here's a basic CSV parser I use to save tokens in my games. It uses split for the heavy lifting.
Basic version
The most basic version is 66 tokens.
function data(str)
local lines=split(str,"\n")
local props,d=split(deli(lines,1)),{}
for l in all(lines) do
local o,v={},split(l)
for i=1,#v do
o[props[i]]=v[i]
end
if(o.name)d[o.name]=o
add(d,o)
end
return d
end |
It can be used like this (4 tokens):
spritetypes=data [[name,sx,sy,sw,sh alien,0,0,2,2 boss,4,0,4,4 player,0,2,4,2 bomb1,3,0,1,1 bomb2,2,1,1,1 bullet,2,0,1,1]] |
The data function returns an array of objects, with properties that map to the CSV columns.
If objects have a name property, then they will be added as a property to the main object with that name.
Which means we can reference the "player" sprite type as:
print(spritetypes.player.sx) |
References
This version allows you to reference objects defined in other CSV tables. It's 117 tokens.
glob={
["true"]=true,
[ [size=16][color=#ffaabb] [ Continue Reading.. ] [/color][/size] ](/bbs/?pid=155181#p) |

Slashed Res
This is something I'm actively working on.
I am trying to make a shmup or just a graphics library that I can use for other projects.
the movement is what you'd expect and (ā)(š ¾ļø) go between the different quarters of a sprite.
This code snippet is the method I made to quarter sprites.
--show a quarter of a sprite
--only works for the first row (lazy)
function qspr(sn,qn,x,y)
local a=0
if(qn>2) a=4
sspr(sn*8 + ((qn+1)%2 * 4),a,4,4,x,y)
end |
This is the placeholder/guide sprite that I used to show what quarter you're on

Asteroid Field Miner
You are the pilot of an asteroid field mining vessel. Navigate asteroid fields to collect valuable minerals. Use the collected material to upgrade your ship. Each run through the asteroid field gets longer and more difficult than the last.

This is my entry for Pico1K Jam 2024, and my first attempt at a Metroidvania game. Hope you enjoy playing it!

So I'm working on a brainf*** interpreter and I'm testing parentheses out right now. But theres a problem. I'm trying to implement "[", but when I run this code:
[]+ Pico-8 Just Crashes on me!
Here's what I'm having trouble with:
if(t[u]=="["and c[ti]==0) then tf=u repeat until t[tf]=="]" do tf+=1 cls() end u=tf end |
T is the text variable responsible for storing [,],+,Etc
U is the counter.
I have mapped
[ to up,
] to left, and
- to right.
Z =backspace
X = run
Try "[]+" in the code and you'll see what I mean.
