PICO-8 : Fantasy console

[CKH4]

If you have the alpha load either of the music carts because fake 3d. Also there's a demo that looks like doom.

Eyup, the raycasting one. There aren't any textures though. Probably would be too slow.

Does anyone know how the data is stored when saving a cart as a png file?

[Duke "Tape" Eiyeron]

Look at the pixels, it seems that he changes some parts of the colors on the carts. I would have prefered a SPORE-like storage, where the data were stored into PNG comment section.

[Ivoah]

I thought that the map/sprite data would be stored in the blank area in the middle so it could be seen, that would have been neat.

[Duke "Tape" Eiyeron]

THe blank area is actually the thumbnail area. Press Fx (I don't remember which one) to PICO to store the current frame and when  you will save the cart, the thumbnail will be present. Just wait until I finish to post my project and you'll see a functionnal cart with thumbnail.

[Ivoah]

Ah, that's better than my idea

EDIT: I'm working on a game in PICO-8, I'll probably post when I'm done/have a working prototype

Sooo, F6 to make a screenshot that will be stored on your desktop
F7 to store the current screen state to write it later on future picture carts ('save name.png")

[Ivoah]

Here's a (buggy) prototype of a game I'm working on

[Duke "Tape" Eiyeron]

Another trick I read from the system, the first two text lines on the cart can be replaced for two commented lines (starting with --).

[Ivoah]

I thought it was only two

The first two lines of the program starting with '--' are drawn to the cart's label.

[Duke "Tape" Eiyeron]

Corrected, I though we could be able to change the last one.

[Snektron]

Hmmm. I should try to make something with this too
