I am happy to say that I was finally able to implement the Dijkstra algorithm, as explained in a @lazydevs.bsky.social video. There is always a lot of good advice in his videos.

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?

Create Your Gamedev Environment for PICO-8 in 7 minutes After this article the perception of game development experience on PICO-8 will change for you, forever.

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.

Very nice! But this could be so much better with music...
I hate that gifs doesn’t support audio.

#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.

I am not 100% sure, but I think this feature is coming from Picotron which already has it.
