I love programming & I love video games. In fact, video games got me into programming. But I never committed to making any games. That changed with PICO-8!
Below is the 1st game I've made. I'm looking forward to finishing it & making more.
Snek Dash | (Link to source code)
A clone of the classic game "Snake" with dash mechanics. It's not done yet, but the core gameplay works & I tried to add a fair bit of "juice" (polish) to make it feel good to play.
Controls:
- Arrow keys to turn, [O] button to dash
- Keyboard: [O] button = z, [X] button = x
- Mobile: Use on-screen buttons
You probably want to turn down your volume, because the music is terrible!
This was a learning project. I was learning PICO-8, Lua, & game programming all at once. Therefore, the code is not great. I would never use code like this for production apps or games.
