WIP #picotron anywhen:// listings: a single file can be viewed as a folder containing every point in time it was modified (by month/day).

The different versions are treated just like regular files and can be run straight out of the anywhen:// folder (as in the gif).

it's time again to send us your Pico-8 projects, with a chance to be featured on our Pico-8 residency cabinet for the Fall season

applications close on August 24, 11:59pm EST, so get them in now!

Started on a raycast game for #lowrezjam over weekend.

Got a special rendering system working. Shelf sprites are generated on the fly in unused space, so each is unique.

Started making the basic retrieval task system, moving towards a tiny library sim.

Loop Game by SaKo Collect the gems, avoid the bombs, and make loops

wow I made a game again!
thanks to @muse-energy.bsky.social for making the BGM!

.. but that doesn't explain why DOOM.p64@2025-01-17 also isn't found. Are you sure that cart existed in that location mid January? If you search in {Picotron App Data}/anywhen/2025-01/17.log it should show up as "/desktop/DOOM.p64"
(If Windows: C:/Users/Yourname/AppData/Roaming/Picotron/anywhen/...)

Oooh, thanks for the heads up. It looks like specifying the time part is indeed completely broken. work-around until 0.2.0i:

copy: pastebin.com/raw/bBSg7u78
> mkdir /appdata/system/util
> edit /appdata/system/util/load_020i.lua
paste and save, and then use:
> load_020i DOOM.p64@2025-01-17_00:00:00

Hey, is that with picotron 0.2.0h? 0.2.e~g were quite hungry (because of issues with background process scheduling), but if it happens on 0.2.0h there's probably something I can improve ~ a 2015 Macbook is meant to easily meet minimum specs.

Currently developing a little #racing game in #picotron and I am having a total blast. Can you recognize the car I am driving?
This is coming soon-ish, just need to get the sfx and transitions perfect.

▫️Pixel Art Park 8
８月３日(日) 11:00-18:00 | 横浜-大さん橋ホール

#PixelArtPark is back!
See you in Yokohama on Aug 3!

i started making new #pico8 games last october - here's 13 of them crammed into 75 seconds ??

they're all playable in your browser! -> adamatomic.itch.io

// Fullscreen carts that are favourited also shows up here (and perhaps later there will be a fullscreen "sofa" mode for splore w/ label previews).

A WIP screenshot of Splore showing a list of lists on the left (BBS > New, Featured, Bookmarks > Accessories, Demos etc) and the cartridges in that category on the right.

More work on Splore for #picotron 0.2.1
The idea is: find stuff you like on the BBS, and then drag carts left into the bookmarks lists.

Some lists have special meanings; e.g. "Screensavers" becomes the list you choose from in Settings > Screensavers.

Heads up, Pico Pico Cafe is open for a bit tonight (7pm~11ish)

I've returned in oen piece (mostly) from my florida trip the con was a ton of fun and it was nice visiting family. Progress updates and art should resume soon, Starting with fixing this guy! Hope You're all well.

Unnecessary, fun systems.
Graphics are stored not as an array of pixel colours, but pixel indices to a "skin" graphic. Allows just this skin to be updated and all animations reflect the new colours. Also left/right asymmetry can be kept no matter flip direction! #indiedev #gamedev #picotron #pico8

#picotron 0.2.0h3 is up -- it has the same runtime version (0.2.0h) but the data file is different to patch a bug in system/lib/events.lua: keyp(k) returns true when k does not resolve to a scancode on the host's keyboard layout.

aha, found 2 of the Humble upload silently failed -- they should be fixed now. Thanks for the heads up.

Is that via lexaloffle, or humble? I turned off caching on my server just now for good luck.

There isn't a nice way to use it with binary exports yet, but yes that's the plan! I need to do more work on networking & security before I could really recommend devs tell players to run servers on their personal machines, but it's probably already no worse than existing game servers (ha!)

#picotron 0.2.0h is up // picotron.net

Many bugfixes + a spritesheet importer & QOL features. Changelog: www.lexaloffle.com/dl/docs/pico...

Haunted Azure

I made a lil pico-8 game! It's a short precision platformer, inspired by a Celeste mod I made last year. It was a lot of fun to make, and I hope people enjoy it!

Hi there, internet friends old and new!

I've been hiding on Mastodon and repeatedly reinventing my whole gamedev practice these past few years, and I thought it was about time I popped in here to see what everyone else is up to.

Hello!
