PATCH 2 NOTES
--small performance boosts
--added pseudo voxels for map, up to 4 cubes high
Silly little raycast engine, ill probably make a game with this at some point but for now here ya'll go. Feel free to use this for whatever just credit me :)
--IMPORTANT
there is no actual game, for realsies, I just made the murder mystery as clickbait because I'm greedy, there will be a game one day but as of current its just a simple game engine.
--Old versions
My first cart! I saw another matrix screensaver here somewhere, decided I needed to one-up it a bit. :D
Features a customized palette, renders most of the font characters for that more 'code' look and not just alpha characters, and multiple streams per screen column. It is thoroughly commented, but nothing really complex going on here.
I'm having so much fun with Picotron! I had followed pico-8 community for years but the resolution was a little too low for my liking. With Picotron I feel right at home, its the same resolution and number of colors I've used for my JS13K engine coincidentally. Looking forward to porting a few of my projects and many new ones.
Cheers!
Ryan
Update: columns don't die for another 12 columns off bottom of screen, first version had streams dying at max y.

Hi everyone!
I have managed to get Pico8 running on my RetroPie setup. It works great!
However, I am having some problems changing the size of the games. It looks like a slightly squashed rectangle now. The screenshot shows two long vertical bars at left/right. The right sonic is from retroarch, it is able to scale to the entire screen
From what I see from log.txt

Is there a way I can alter the window size? I have tried various suggestions around, some involved me adding new lines to config.txt.
Hey everyone, I got into Pico-8 games thanks to getting a Miyoo Mini with Onion OS that has baked in Pico emulation. I've lightly started learning Unity and Unreal engines, but I'm no developer by any means.
I saw and played the cart Pico Hot (previously played the vr version) on my tiny little handheld and was blown away by it existing or running at all in Pico, and I really want to learn and build a "hopefully" simple little game.
Seeing as there's vector and raster support, and there's a Wolfenstein & Doom demake, I had the thought of (I've been playing a lot of extraction shooters lately) a first person game running through an open field, stepping left or right to go around low obstacles/cover, avoiding or firing a single basic weapon (like a mosin) at random enemy spawns on your path until you get his once and die or make it a random distance and "extract". Am I an idiot with thinking this would be possible at all in this engine, or it is but well beyond my entry level of understanding?
This is a deeply ill-advised prototype of an idea I had where one half of the screen is playing Dr Mario and the other half is playing Tetris. In order to make a block fall in Tetris you have to build it in Dr Mario, and if you want to keep getting blocks in Dr Mario you need to clear lines in Tetris (because cleared lines break into parts and fall back down in the other game).
It's built for one player but the two-player mode might work better. I don't know because I don't currently have access to a second player.

Last Minute Cookies
Santa is coming but you forgot to put a cookie on his plate!
Try your best to nudge it on there so he can enjoy it.
How To Play
Nudge the cookie onto the plate and try to beat the par(times of strokes an "average" player needs to beat the level) for any given level.
Watch out for obstacles, blue spots slowing you down and yellow spots speeding your cookie up.
This game saves your progress, so do share your achievements!
Special thanks
First and foremost a big thank you to @bikibird for organizing this amazing calendar!
I've coded up a christmas-y clone of that silly game I keep getting ads for.
