This is a project I created with pico-8 and Lua practice. I created this because I love to watch the snow fall!

Small disclaimer: You are free to use these in your projects, free of charge !! Only thing I ask in return is attribution by crediting me somewhere in the project.
Here are two little code snippets to shift patterns!! The token cost is 55 tokens for the vertical shifting code and 76 tokens for the horizontal shifting code. These code snippets also account for additional settings on bits 0b0.111 of the pattern (to learn what the hell that is, check this part of the manual). I am choosing to leave the snippets as they are in the cartridge in here to people can see (and try to understand if they want to) what is going on under the hood without reading something that looks like a keysmash.

It's just an Build A Jetpack texture pack with simplified textures that remember to consoles like an gameboy color. (¿Or it's just an Build A Jetpack but bad? I don't know really.) ¡Well, Enjoy!

A Fight! With snowballs! Don't forget to grab all the cool stuff the other kids drop!
Growing up in rural Canada, winter always meant huge, endless piles of snow everywhere. And as kids, huge piles of snow meant chaos. Snowball Fight! is an endless, high score chasing, winter arena "shooter." Bury the other kids with snowballs or dig ledges out from underneath them and nab dropped presents for bonus points. Clear each screen to move to the next one.
This game was made as part of the 2024 PICO-8 Advent Calendar.
Thanks to everyone who play-tested early versions of the game. And special thanks especially to:
- bikibird: for managing and organizing the Advent Calendar

I started this game following a tutorial for pico-8 that was in the Magpi magazine 6 years ago. My daughter then aged 3 helped me to design the space ship. I figured I should finish this and inspire her as she has recently taken an interest in gaming. The nemesis in the game is a monster from my good friend Jon Hillman's book "The Vile Realm".
It's a classic side scrolling space shooter. The game features a ship with rechargable shields, energy bombs, timed missiles, and lasers. The player has to stop the big bad "Xotolo" from reaching Earth during the final wave of the game cycle. I hope you have fun, I plan to use what I have learned and push pico-8 to its limits!

--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.

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
'''

[001609] codo_load_pod: /home/pi/pico-8/pico8.dat ok

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?
