I've been using @LazyDevsAcademy's Pico Checkmate to show my kids how to play chess, and the visual feedback and interface is really perfect. I love that the cpu player puts the cursor over considered moves while thinking. Play (web/phone): lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=54038 #pico8

My #pico8 games

Published #pico8 Poom technical write up/postmortem on Itch: freds72.itch.io/poom/devlog/24… @gamecactus @ThatTomHall @Jusiv_ How it started How it ended

Making some good progress on turning this engine into a game. Item collection, keys, and doors are working. It's going to be an exploration collectathon with different endings based on completion time/percentage. A bit of an homage to spindizzy. #PICO8

Some #pico8 #rtype stage 2 enemy progress. In the arcade version there's an additional "cocoon" phase before the jellyfish appears but for now I'll leave it like this

Trying out some mole-diggable hexdirt for #ld48, but not sure of the rules yet. #pico8 #ldjam

Here's my #pico8 arrangement of the C64 classic, Monty on the Run. Made use of the new filters from the recent 0.2.2 update. Hope you enjoy!

#Pico8 0.2.2 OFFICIAL RELEASE and detailed description from @lexaloffle ! SO MUCH #retrogaming #gamedev goodness! Check it out!

Yesterday I had the crazy revelation that I now know enough to draw bad 3D graphics in #PICO8 🤯

some stuff that probably won't be in the final game :) #pico8

🌟 PICO-8 0.2.2 is out now! 🌟 Many new features, bug fixings, and technical details: lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=41544 #pico8

A new bit for fillp in #pico8 0.2.2: 0x0.4 e.g. fillp(♥ | 0.25) When it's set, pixel values in spr/sspr/map/tline are mapped to 8-bit colour pairs starting at 0x5f60, and the fill pattern is observed when the high & low nibbles differ.

Just learned that I can write #pico8 code in a regular .lua file (with completion, snippets, etc), then use "include" to put that into a .p8 cart, then run it normally. It's soooo much better when making a larger project!

Built it up a little more #pico8

Looks like this will be the #pico8 0.2.2 changelog: pastebin.com/raw/Vy4sw35q

"It's dangerous to go alone! Take this." ♥️♥️♥️ #picoCAD #pixelart #lowpoly #zelda #pico8 #RT

wip8out: improved camera, optimization, correct texture orientation - still a long way away from speed required to render this in game tho. #pico8
