I am trying to learn more about pathfinding for a new game project in #Picotron
It’s a difficult subject. My previous algorithm was a bit “silly” and couldn’t solve easy situations. Wish me luck!
Any good resources for pathfinding?

PICO-8 Dev environment is lovely, but if you want to unlock all the potential and create games faster you need to do some changes.

Are you ready to leave other engines behind? 🤓

I made a remake of classic Atari Pong 🕹
This is my 2nd game (1st using Picotron). My goal was to make the game by myself, without following any tutorial and I am very happy that I could solve all the obstacles to finally recreate Pong successfully😀

Es un plomazo ver que la gente con más talento que conozco siempre está al borde o por debajo del umbral de pobreza :[

Y que pasan los siglos y no terminamos de arreglar esto, oye. Que el dinero lo acumulan charlatanes, enteraos y papanatas, y a la gente que aporta bien al mundo le dan por saco.

#Gaurodan is out!

The 2013 game has been completely redone to fit my current vision of traditional arcade game design. It's denser (more levels but less overall length), with better pacing, mechanics and a proper scoring system.

Happy Pi Day Everyone :)

🎂 #Picotron 0.1 has been out for exactly one year, so it seems like a fitting time to release 0.2 with Binary Exporters :D 🎉🎈

Very nice video from Disasterpeace, talking about making concept audio. Lots of great ideas to work with. Most of them I used in the past, but still great to hear about them from this great composer. I really like his music.

Good weekend participating in the #MJW19 making the music for a little game. I made new friends, young talented people and it was a pleasure to work with them.

To make the music I used the #deluge The new export feature from the community firmware made the workflow much quicker.
