Hey all...hooked myself up with Picotron to play with over the holidays. I'm planning on porting over some of my PICO8 games as a way to learn.
One thing I don't think I'm quite understanding is the RAM code vs the cart code.
I have a cart saved with simple printing of "Hello world" in it as MYDEMO.p64 and when I double-click it, it runs fine. Yay.
I open the cart contents and open the 'main.lua' to edit in source mode. I change the text to "Hello dog" and then do CTRL+R to reload the cart and there's no change...still shows Hello World. But if I do 'load mydemo' from the terminal and then run, it shows the change. Make another change, reload, no change...gotta do 'load' again. Tedious.
I guess I'm just used to PICO8's reload-to-see-changes instantly...but it seems that's not the case with Picotron?
Does opening cart code not make it the 'active' code that will run instantly when changes are made? Seems like a lot of extra steps just to see quick changes I make in a cart.

A little snowglobe application. Shake the window to make the snow fall. More shaking causes more snow to fall! (If you don't want to shake the window, you can also use the scroll wheel.)
Uses the same shaking detection as in #8ball. I drew the scene Pixelorama, and imported it using #importpng.

The manual states that if you don't want to print a newline, you can include a \0 at the end of the string. However, if you do this, the cursor x position gets reset to 0 and the next thing printed will overlap:
For comparison PICO-8 keeps the x-position allowing you to print without overlap:

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.

First time coming to Picotron, a PacMan twist with circus style, use arrows left and right to move, the rest, see attrack for more. Enjoy!
Revision 2 update: Pacman can now loop thru screen, 20 pills and 4 power pills per stage. Hilined pills's border to see them better.

So, I've been wanting to code a pico-8 game and I know the limits of the 8192 tokens, 64 sounds, blah blah blah, I just need to know some actual coding. For example, how would I make a kill trigger for spikes, or a windscreen for collecting something?

--Initial sound effects and animations have been completed, and a damage indicator has been added to display the amount of damage dealt.
--The characteristics of each troop type have been further defined by introducing an "accuracy" attribute. Higher accuracy increases the chance of dealing double damage, giving Thieves a certain advantage.
--The attributes of troop types have been randomized to increase the game's replayability and variability.
--A formation function has been added, making it easier to arrange and deploy armies.

Made for the 2024 Advent Calendar collection of holiday games, toys, and fun tools made in PICO-8.
How to Play
Move around with the arrow keys.
Press X to perform actions.
Win Goal:
- Survive and protect gifts long enough (?)
Lose Conditions:
- Health at zero
- Gifts < 5
Highscore & Speedrun
You can rate your quality of success by the number of gifts you protect by the end, as well as the amount of time it takes to reach the end. You can take a screenshot with Ctrl+6 during the win scene to share and compare.

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?

Hello!
I just got Pico-8 and I want to start making games for it,
I already know some python, but nothing about lua or Pico-8.
Do you have any advice on how I should learn to make Pico-8 games,
Thank you :)
