This app is a submission to the 2024 Pico-8 Advent Jam that creates digital folded paper snowflakes!
Cut a pattern into the digitally folded paper. Click "unfold" to reveal your masterpiece! Then save an image of your snowflake to share with friends, family, or right here on the bbs!
Detailed Instructions
Note: If you don't have a mouse connected, you can control the mouse using a controller as follows: the d-pad moves the mouse to various interactive elements on the screen, pressing x clicks, and pressing o moves the mouse to the bottom of the screen for easy button access.
When you load the cart you are greeted by the welcome screen which shows an example paper snowflake unfolding.

the unpod function throws this runtime error when you input a string beginning with "---[[", which causes various errors with built in apps, particularly if you boot picotron with one copied to your clipboard

A simple tictactoe for pico-8.
Don't expect much ; i'm still a beginner.
The hardest thing to code were the animations ; the result is not very clean, but it does the job.
Take the code if you want, it's just that it's not very well written : some variable names are in French, others in English ._.

This cartridge can be used for educational purposes to make simulations for the Monty Hall problem, a well-known probability conundrum that puzzles many people. The statement of the problem is the following:
-- Suppose you're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three doors: Behind one door is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick a door, say No. 1, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He then says to you, "Do you want to pick door No. 2?" Is it to your advantage to switch your choice? [cited from the Wikipedia page]
For students attending a Probability course, this is an exercise about conditional probability. You can read more on the dedicated Wikipedia page.

Hey! Here's a small platformer demo I made!
There's one slight problem I have, and that's the fact that there's hardly any map to work with. I'm thinking of making random generated levels, but I don't know much of that. If you know something that might help, please tell me!

PUSH (Picotron Upgraded SHell) is a modified version of terminal.lua I made that allows you to add modifications from lua modules. You can place modules in /appdata/system/terminal/ and PUSH will load them.
Without any modules, PUSH changes very little (cd with no arguments acts as cd /), but modules let you add more functionality.
In the repo, I have a list of examples of the sort of things you can do with PUSH, including changing the prompt, adding and overriding commands, and adding shortcuts.
cd.lua is my favorite module so far, I think. It adds replaces the default cd command and adds fish-style directory history.

This is very WIP, so if you have any trouble or suggestions for how to improve PUSH, let me know!

Controls:
- 🅾️/Z shoot a single bullet.
- ❎/X bite/spit enemy aphids.
- ⬅️ move left.
- ➡️ move right.
Instructions
This is a basic shmup with a parry gimmick. You can choose to shoot your one bullet at a time with Z or you can bite an aphid with X. Press X again after biting an aphid to spit it out. Aphids will not damage you if you spit them out and touch them again. Your score is multiplied by the number of aphids that you have spit out active on screen. New waves of aphids spawn after destroying every aphid from the previous wave.
This is my first game with Pico-8 and I like how it helps me focus on just working on basic mechanics rather than getting overwhelmed with everything else.

A rhythm and melody trainer with multiple scalable difficulty levels. Inspired by the classic game Battleship.

I now have a custom sector editor up and running and can generate more complex maps, including the elusive 8-sided column. (Why use existing tools when you can spend twice as long to create and debug your own? :-D )
I have more headroom than expected on the CPU, so 3D polygon props seem to be a possibility.
