@@atticusfinn8310 can you do a tutorial for the "selectable bar" please ?

[@atticusfinn8310]

@@Bruh-hd4rj Hey Stever! If you mean the bottom bar with all the actions here's what I did.
I created a table for the arrow, it looks like this:
arrow={}
arrow.sp=11
arrow.x=58
arrow.y=100
Then I made the sprites and drew them on the screen by using the spr() function, which takes 3 values, the first one is the sprite number (which you can check in the sprite editor) second one is the X value and third one the Y value, here's the code:
function _draw()
spr(6,58,90) --pot
spr(7,67,90) --seeds
spr(8,49,90) --water
spr(9,40,90) --scissors
spr(10,76,90) --spray
spr(arrow.sp,arrow.x,arrow.y)
end
Then in order to be able to move the arrow to select one of the options, create a function that takes the player input and tells the arrow in which direction to move:
function move_arrow()
if btnp(➡️) then
arrow.x+=9 76 then
arrow.x=76

Built this game, played it, beat it in 30 seconds. Still had more fun than Cyberpunk 2077.

[@atticusfinn8310]

You should try making more vids like this one - if I know anything about the algorithm, I know that devlogs for little games like this are well-loved. I'm learning pico-8 myself right now, and I'd love to see more vids like this one.

[@atticusfinn8310]

Yeah been fighting the algorithm, next video will be a devlog and I think I'll try to focus more on devlogs in the future. Thanks for the feedback and gl with pico8! :D

[@Tantandev]

Best 30 seconds of my life!

[@atticusfinn8310]

xD

[@costelinha1867]

Ah yes a Bonzai caring game, or as I'll now call it: Myagi Simulator.

[@szkraft220]

aw, such a simple and pleasant game

[@atticusfinn8310]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :D

[@jupi6851]

why you don't have way more subs?! you are truly commited to game dev and your videos have so much effort put into them.

[@atticusfinn8310]

Thanks! It's quite hard getting the exposure at the beginning I guess, feel free to share :)

[@faus585]

Beautiful little game! :D

[@atticusfinn8310]

Thanks Faus! :D

[@Katzenha]

I needed less than 10 secs :D (Plantz to pot, seeds, water,spray,water, end) but I like the idea! :)

[@gaben9224]

How tf did this get in my recommended and how tf do you only have 40 subscribers?

[@atticusfinn8310]

It's a tough battle against youtube's algorithm!

[@sysy_ep]

NO WAY IT HAS THE SAME NAME AS MY TRIO OMG

[@SeaSerpentLevi]

So fucking cute my dude T_T
Great job!!

[@clif_rice]

3 hours spent on creating a game just for it to be beaten in 30 seconds. now you probably feel how minecraft devs feel lmao 😂

[@atticusfinn8310]

That's the curse of gamedev
