Hello, I have a few things about coding. First how do I make a jump and/or map and animations? I am very new to coding and want to make a little game with some abilities.

Well, if you are new and have no idea to coding then you can see @dw817 's latest tutorial and practice with it:

After knowing it by heart, first try animation here:

https://nerdyteachers.com/PICO-8/Game_Mechanics/?tutorial=4

And learn basic movement here:

https://nerdyteachers.com/PICO-8/Game_Mechanics/?tutorial=7

On basis of that, here is a basic platformer series (what you exactly want to make) from TheNerdyTeachers:

If you have a stumble with the specific codes, press Ctrl+U to get quick help of the code under cursor.

By learning step by step, hope those websites can be a bridge to touch with Pico-8.

Thank you

that first link is specifically about pico8 edu edition, not learning pico8 programming in general! there are many ressources for that – see the resources tab at the top of this very web site :]

yeah im on EDU so it helped me make some games. it was fun.

Hello, I made 4 small-ish mini games under 600 tokens each, is there a way to combine them into one game?

sure! you’ll have to add a main menu to pick the game

thanks merwok-can you expand a little?

yes, but let’s do that in another thread!
