Hello friend im a professor PF digital games and on my course im teaching pico If you wpuld agree can you give me the code and ART? Its only for educative project. theongatechelli@gmail.com thank you
hello i'm new to pico 8 and have a question on how to run poom in pico 8 if i try the standalone version in pico 8 following the setup it says it cannot load poom_0 and gives a syntax error when trying to run it. can someone help me with this? ill add screenshot
Now I now what game to pull out when people say that their Pico-8 games are missing half the things they should have because "Pico-8 is a very limiting console".
So unfortunately I couldn't progress further as I didn't realize there wasnt a save feature... I stepped away from the game for a bit to do other projects and came back to having to do all of this again. Partially my fault as I made an assumption based off the actual doom games I played. But kind of a bummer. Still a great experience overall. You did a great job creating a classic doom fangame.
.. are you annoyed by this? I'm genuinely curious because I didn't intend to annoy you and I apologize if I did. I was breaking this game down into segmented videos as I was going to be away for a bit and needed something to fill in for my absent days. I figured this game would do nicely, but as I stated, I wasn't aware that this didn't have a save feature due to the engine's limitations. I had to go afk for a bit so I closed the game not knowing that flaw thinking it autosaved with the tiny icon in the top left.
And I know the levels are short, but after being met with having to do the levels again, I just wanted to move on.
I wasn't mad at all, I still enjoyed the time I had with it, but I wished I was warned beforehand, if not a bit more clearly.
Ok, now I'm getting an error when compiling the sample Poom cart from the Poom SDK...
In order to do anything in Python to even install the tool chain or use any tool, using a virtual environment was REQUIRED, not optional, because if I didn't, it would scream at me about it being a regulated environment, or something.
This is the python script I used, that I hastily modified for Ubuntu Linux. "REDACTED" is my linux username, which is nobody's business! :)
We really could use an updated README for the SDK with updated Windows, Linux AND MacOS instructions. XD
Even when editing the code to work on Linux, it does not work out of the box when following the current instructions.
There is also an issue posted on the github about the level design tutorial in the README producing an invalid map, because simple boxed rooms aren't supported. I wouldn't know, I haven't been able to use the SDK on my machine yet! XD

do you have pictures of all the maps for the levels?
maybe hot take but i enjoy this a lot more than the original doom. I don't really know what it is about it tbh. well done
You are the best person who used that engine and the best to exploit its full capabilities.

hi - code is available as part of the sdk, game art is not.
cheers
the command line instructions are for the Windows terminal (launch with ctrl+r ‘cmd’)!
oh! I was confused thanks for the help

hehe - thanks
(check out Demi Daggers also 😬)
HOW DOES THIS EVEN EXIST?

Love!! Really pretty colors :)
Very cool! Nice!!!
Cool game! Will it go on the prefix R36S?
honestly quite incredible
thanks!

ok - the levels are quite small and second, the underlying engine is quite limited. That's why saving was not considered.

Seeking the exits have always been a struggle for me.
you can indeed play DOOM on a nokia.cool
can u pls add strafing for gamepad and map camera movement to right stick? that would make controls a lot easier on gamepad

it seems to be having trouble with tiles.png. with what, I don't know. I'm not very good at Python script.

suggest to head over the Poom discord - I can certainly help for the setup
Thanks for the reply! Didn't know there was a Poom discord - I will happily move this over to there to keep from cluttering your comments.! XD
