This week, open up Pico. Make a door that opens and closes! Maybe make it a fancy door??? Show me what u got!!!

--I mad e a small project. its a clouds spawn system.-- -Is it good?🤔 -Need your feedback. --here is the code-- clouds={} function make_clouds() c={} c.x=rnd(160) c.y=rnd(60) c.spd=rnd(0.5)+0.2 add(clouds,c) end function update_clouds() for c in all(clouds) do c.x+=c.spd if c.x>128 then c.x=-16 c.y=rnd(60) end end end function draw_clouds() for c in all(clouds) do spr(1,c.x,c.y,2,2) end end function _init() for i=1,15 do make_clouds() end end function _update() update_clouds() end function _draw() cls(12) draw_clouds() end

We got a new pico8 version today! It’s a real nice quality of life drop, most notable is the rounded rectangle ability and the text outlines and underlines! Performance tweaks, config options, and security patches round out the update. Go have fun!

Are you a retro geek 😁 and tiding yourself to the Pico-8 retro code editor, or are you a more modern geek and use an external editor, like VS Code, for developing a game? If it's an external editor, do you edit p8 files or include a Lua file? Until now, all my playing with Pico-8 has been done using its editor. I tried using VS Code to change P8 files, and soon I noticed I was having problems saving/syncing, resulting in the loss of some values. If using external Lua files, do you then write everything in external Lua files, or do you have a mixture of p8 and Lua files? (Not sure if this is even possible!) Cheers, Marko 🎮

Just added to the classroom! GO get it! These are just a few notes that I think are really helpful when you're just getting used to Pico-8. Enjoy!
