It's been a while since I've published a Pico-8 cartridge, so here's Flappy Bird that I made in less than a day. This is also the first time I've ever tried making sound effects in Pico-8, so I hope people enjoy how the game sounds as well.

Help Hr. B!
Controls
Arrow keys to move around. (Z) or (X) to brake. (P) to pause the game.
How to play
Try surviving for 100 seconds!
It might be fun to go in blind and figure out how the game works yourself, but if you'd rather not here's how everything works:
====== Hr. B ======
You play as Hr. B. He is vulnerable when slow, but if fast enough he can damage enemies by ramming into them. He will glow when he has reached that critical speed.
====== Bats ======

Story
You're taking a casual ride on your dragon when all of a sudden the dragon has to sneeze! You and your cat companion get thrown off, and now you have to try to climb the dragon tower to get back on.
What is Bloodletting?
The tower is powered by the blood of fallen dragon riders - and it offers you certain deals for your blood.
These deals can make or break you, so be careful!
Beware!
Destroy the chests to sometimes find a heart

Some Background
I've been working on a PICO-8 game for a couple months now as my final for my Videogame Design class, and I think I'd like to start talking about it a little bit. I'm new to PICO-8, and I'm definitely an amateur programmer. My focus is primarily on story telling and art (which I'm also not super good at, but I do what I can). This is actually my first post on the Lexaloffle BBS, so I apologize for any weird mishaps and whatnot.
Anywhos... On with the show!
My game is an RPG sort of game, where most of the game is top-down open-world exploration with NPCs to talk to, signs to read, and chests to open. But there's also a turn-based combat state, where if you come across an enemy, you will be tossed into fight (I call this state "tcomba").

This is my first pseudo-game, I was following the Lazy Devs shmup tutorial but I wanted to start experimenting on my own, and part of that self learning is actually publishing something

This is my third and most ambitious pico-8 release. I have very little coding experience outside pico8 and this was a great challenge for me. Token limit is pretty much maxed out and contains 38,000+ characters. I welcome any feedback you have!

Check out these Humongous Entertainment sprites I made using PICO-8's sprite editor! I was just experimenting with making 16x16 sprites, and I didn't expect them to look this good, but here we are!

This is just my little game I made, it doesn't have music yet but maybe in the future :)

But Player2, called "emo", try to fill all in red.

Sun Queen
This is a game where you guide a dog around a park to soak up the sun wherever it appears and eat some bananas. It's dedicated to our Yorkie Silky dog named Daisy Mae, who passed away at the age of 14. Her favorite things in the world were - wait for it - sunshine and bananas.
How to play
Use the d-pad/arrow keys to move Daisy around. Try to stay within the sun spots as they grow and shrink for as long as possible to gain points before the timer runs out. Eating the bananas is optional but will get you 10 points.
Thanks for playing!

Hello! Just started using PICO-8 as a somewhat beginner programmer so I decided to make a small one screen game of my roommate's pet pigeon.
Hope I will get better with time!

Side Quest 2 is broken down into 4 requests from the same villager. You first come across this Side Quest in "Lesson 6: Print to the Screen" and are encouraged to revisit it after learning how to use variables in "Lesson 7: Variables & Data Types". You are free to submit both examples under this post, but you should make it clear whether you made them with or without variables.
2-1
"Hi, I have a clothing store and I need a sign that shows people our fabric color options. Can you print the numbers 1 through 15 but in those exact colors for me?"
2-2
"I also do custom jobs where I can design someone's name into the fabric. Can you give me some ideas by printing your name, one letter at a time, in a really cool pattern?"

I'm trying to do a simple state machine but I'm doing something wrong in the assign.
I wanna assign "running" if a button is pushed from a list of values.
player = {
lives = 3,
current_state,
list_states = {"running","jumping","falling"}
}
function _update()
if btnp(❎) then
player.current_state = player.list_states["running"]
end
end
function _draw()
cls(1)
print(player.current_state)
end |
This doesn't work:
player.current_state = player.list_states["running"]
This works but its not very useful because I don't see in the code which state I'm assigning:
player.current_state = player.list_states[1]
This also works, but I think it's also not very useful because the usefulness of the state machine is assigning a concrete value from a set of predefined values to avoid mistakes.
player.current_state = "running"
How can i do it? Or whats the usual approach to make states machines?
Thank you!
