I recently got married, so I developed a pico-8 cart with wedding themed minigames!

We made NFC cards and gave them out at our wedding so people could play during the reception!

If you are interested it is on the BBS: www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=173...

Picture of NFC cards I made with labels for my wedding themed PICO-8 game. The cards wheres programmed to open the game in the browser when tapping a phone on it.

I added a farmer and some basic farming mechanics.
Next step will be completing the game loop with commerce!

I completely changed the tile structure but now plants can grow and need water.

It might be time to start turning these mechanics in some sort of a game!

GIF of my work in progress PICO-8 game focused on farming. in the GIF we see a small plot of tilled soil with three plants growing, as the time goes by a water gauge indicates the hydration going down and is replenished by the player.

Update on my auto tiling system in #pico8 : I can now manage multiple layers. So here come the seeds!

Demo GIF of the auto tiling system I am developing for my pico-8 game. I have now implemented multiple layers. in the GIF the terrain is modified, first by tilling the grass then by adding a seed tile on the layer above.

I'm developing a mini-farming game to unwind. Of course I started by developing an auto-tiling system!

It's simple but it should suit my needs.
I was surprised to not find a lot of material on this topic for #pico8 so I'm wondering: is this a very niche scenario?

As suggested by @seagoatgames.itch.io , here's an update using four palettes by Brandon James Greer
www.reddit.com/media?url=ht...

This was very fun and a good exercise for me, so I think I will repeat this experiment in the future and try to come up with my own palettes!

I drew a simple #pixelart studio apartment using the #gb palette and then mapped some colors from the #PICO8 palette.

Which is your favorite and what other PICO-8 color combinations would you suggest?

Day 5 of #lovejam2025 and I have a first working loop of the dungeon crawler planning game I am developing.

Time to get working on some art!

Quick update: I got better spacing between the nodes, and am now snapping them to an arbitrary grid!

I think I might stop for now, this is good groundwork for future implementations in my games.

Gif of my PICO-8 cart with an update to my graph generation. The GIF shows that I can now snap the nodes into position in the center of tiles in a grid.

I finally got a first implementation of a random graph generator in #PICO8

I am looking to better understand this structure and use it to generate space-maps with planets connected by routes.

Now to figure out how to make all nodes connected and improve node placement!

Most of the united states restrict the right to vote for felons in some way. Looking at states that vote for Donald Trump, officially a felon, we see 100% have restrictions for his kin.

This cannot be a good system.

Here are some charts!
#Politics #Data #2024Election #FelonRights #JusticeReform
Map and charts illustrating the split of US states based on restrictions to voting rights for felons. Nearly 95% of states restrict the right to vote in some way; from having to wait for the completion of the sentence all the way to complete loss except for pardons. Map and charts illustrating US states that voted for Donald Trump in the 2024 election and that have some form of restriction to the right to vote for felons. 100% of the republican states have some form of restriction.
