So after a few years of engine hopping, tutorial scouring, self doubt and despair, I’ve circled around to P8 and finally finished a game. Huge thanks to Spacecat and the Pico community. I’m excited to get to work on more stuff! In Claude you're a chicken, you eat corn and carrots. You emerge from an egg and start it all over again. If you do swing by and give it a whirl I hope you get a few minutes of fun! https://enzo23.itch.io/claude

im working on a cutting tree feature and i wonder if the tree shaking mechanic is needed. im not sure if it looks good or not so im asking for advice

A few days ago, we received a new challenge from our admin: make a door. As I went through his tutorial, I got a few ideas, but a special one - doors can be more than just "open/close". So, while running 🏃‍➡️ (I do run a lot), I come to those lines: - make bigger doors, - implement more than just open/close and - interaction is up to the player. MAKE A BIGGER DOOR Here, I soon came to the idea of using two sprites next to each other. While drawing (still new to Pico-8 and Lua!) I found out I can flip the sprite. So, I delete all "right" sprites 🤣 and keep only the left ones. IMPLEMENT MORE THAN JUST OPEN/CLOSE Okay, I didn't know what else to do, maybe locking, but that wasn't the point of this learning process. I've added a feature to my sliding doors, allowing them to slide up or down. INTERACTION WITH PLAYER (Maybe you already found out that English is not my strongest suit 😀) Later, while coding, I came up with the idea that doors slide down when the player is behind or above them and slide up when the player is in front of/under them. As this platform doesn't allow nice code formatting, I'm attaching a p8 file. Also, that you have sprites. Keep in mind - I'm on 7% of Pixel Art for Game Devs! 🤣 Space for improvement or to-dos - Doors are positioned in the middle of the screen without walls, which constitutes a significant security breach 😉 - You can walk through doors. - Doors should open only when the player is close to them. - ... all above can be easily achieved, as this one does not know how to do ... - The player is positioned on a layer lower than the doors, but when it's in front of them (at the bottom part of the screen), it should be positioned on a layer above the doors. Lua is my new language, so I believe that some lines of code are over-complicated ... but this is (mine) a learning curve 😀

so im trying to add this feature to my game where when u face a direction and press a button it mines the block in that direction i am wondering how u guys would do this and it could help me alot thank u for ur attention (heres some photos if u dont understand what i mean)

hi! i am currently working on this game called fireheart( im so sorry for the goofy game name) it is inspired of the roblox game 99 nights in the forest and some random game jam game i forgot the name of basically you're supposed to pick up wood and throw it in the fire and not stay out too long other wise some monster attacks you. and also cult attacks(i've only got the fire working ,maybe this is ambitious 😰) i would very much appreciate any tips or ideas for this game thank you
