As we come out of spooky season, it's time to start looking ahead to the winter holidays, and the #pico8 advent calendar! The elves are already hard at work on a collection of games for this year's calendar, but we could still use your help. itch.io/jam/pico-8-a...

#picotron 0.2.1c is up on lexaloffle & humble: www.picotron.net - tracker fx: fade, oscillate, fast arps - batch matmul() // demo: treegen.p64 - fast tline3d / spr / sspr / map - external .p64 change reloading - trinkets wallpaper full changelog: www.lexaloffle.com/dl/docs/pico...

hey it's Halloween time and i finally put up a web version of my friendly skeleton PICO-8 platformer, Tuck and Rolo 💀🐦 you can also download it, for free: runningjump.itch.io/tuck-and-rolo

redid a lot of the sound effects to sound more accurate (and nothing else) #gamedev #pico8

#picotron 0.2.1c candidate changelog for next week: pastebin.com/raw/5cUeRL0P

ornaments for #picotron 0.2.1c tracker: like arpeggios, but only two notes. The high nibble is the semitone offset (or 0 for silence), and the low nibble is the tick speed. It can be used for all kinds of articulation (rolls, grace notes etc), swung accents and of course filthy volume oscillation.

The laser code had multiple bugs—some I knew about some I didn't. When I tried to make a small change it broke everything. x) So I rewrote the entire loop from scratch. It works a lot better now. Also added a little charge up delay so it takes a bit of planning to snipe with it ;>

A faster tline3d() codepath for #picotron 0.2.1c // dividing by w every 8 pixels normally doesn't look too bad and is identical for affine things like sprite rotation, so I think it should be the default.

Its that time again. Lots of progress me thinks :) #ScreenShotSaturday #Pico8 #GameDev #Retro #Remake #StarQuake

Testing if can support widescreen. Seem to be keeping silky smooth 30fps after: 1. Simplifying a costly palette function call for each book to a poke 2. Caching the shelf labels. 3. Making book sprites draw less blank space So uh, widescreen co-op seems to be a go. woot #pico8 #pixelart #gamedev

#picotron 0.2.0i candidate changelog pastebin.com/raw/pH7yTBhP

Unsaved changes asterisk for #picotron 0.2.0i -- it watches an optional hint function passed to wrangle_working_file() for possible changes (e.g. when the undo stack position changes) and occasionally compares with the last saved version to confirm. In this GIF I'm undoing back to the saved state.
