Just messing around with flight mechanics
It is possible to orbit stars and planets. The general movement is a bit on the fast side compared to other space flyers out here.
For now there is only flying around and crashing.
I want to turn this into a proper game some day, but feel like the flight mechanics need to be sorted out first.
I made it a challange to figure out how to make the movement work by myself, so the math probably isn't that great yet.
Any feedback is appreciated.
I will add a better title eventually.
This is the first technicly winnable version.



Alright, here's my first foray into an actual game.
Updates in v0.2:
-
Spiffy new title screen, makes start of game and game over states more pleasant
-
Significantly better control handling using a button input queuing system
-
Sound improvements, including Crash sound volume reduced
-
Brief start of game animation to help gently draw player attention to the snake before it begins to rocket across the screen
- Win condition is less seizure inducing (though still too hard for me to reach legitimately so that I cannot easily confirm it even works right. Are there tool-assisted-speedrun uh.. tools for PICO-8 by any chance? 😅)

Hey!!!!!! I made a shmup, with Lazy Dev's Basic Shmup Tutorial. It's like a shmup, but it's not! A fun-filled, action-packed game, for the whole family to enjoy! (Except it's single-player but lets move on.)

Power-ups, bosses and explosions GALORE!!!! What's not to love?

There's even a ranking system included, free of charge, no need to thank me.
Now the real question: Are you ready? Are you prepared? We know you aren't, but you never will.




Xmas P8ng

It's Christmas time! It's time to gather with family and friends.
Amidst the delicious holiday food and drinks, enjoy a fun game of Pong.
If you haven't been left Home Alone, it's time to fight your way through some thrilling matches. But we all know old habits Die Hard, so remember to brush your teeth before bed and not to argue with your friends over the game so Santa can give you a gift too.

I am trying to run Pico-8 on Raspberry Pi 4b with pi os lite.
I have tried following this post: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=140366
but it did not work for me.
when I tried this command, it just got stucked and nothing happened.
root@rpi0:/home/rpi/pico-8# ./pico8_64
for other executable pico8, pico8_dyn, I got this error:
root@rpi0:/home/rpi/pico-8# ./pico8_dyn
-bash: ./pico8_dyn: cannot execute: required file not found
can anyone guide me how to debug this problem?



Long time fan first time uploading.
Hope you enjoy the animation tool I made.

A demake of the classic flash game Boomshine by Danny Miller. Clear the screen of balls by causing exploding chain reactions. If the song gets too repetitive for you, there is an alternative song that fits into the background better in the game menu. Or turn off the music all together and just listen to the song that emerges naturally which will probably be better than anything I could write. Let me know if the difficulty or mechanics needs tweaking.
