i am new to picotron, and new to pico8 in general, any beginner tips?

In pico-8 use the function update60 for a higher frame rate. Also there is an ad free version of the pico-8 api here:

• API Reference.

Pico-8 and Picotron do not have a physics engine so if you want to be able to learn how to do physics I have a few resources you can check out:

• Pikuma Website
• Two-Bit Coding Youtube Playlist

And if you want to learn how to do 3D graphics here is some more resources:

• Pikuma Website
• The essence of linear algebra

try pico 8 edu, then get pico 8.

I would suggest the Picotron manual. I don't know if anyone has checked on it recently, but zep has been improving it over time, so it's gotten pretty comprehensive. It might take a while to read the whole thing, but you could at least skim it if nothing else.

You may also want to check out the Picotron Wiki, a program that can be run in Picotron to pull up information about Picotron. It's pretty incomplete at the moment though and unfortunately hasn't been updated in a while, so it's currently not quite as useful as it sounds. One day though...

@cheesemug i already got both and they are both amazing, i just dont know much about how to do stuff other than really simple stuff

@ronater95 "Simple stuff" has a lot of potential inside of PICO-8.

If you want to make a game, I'd recommend checking out Nerdy Teachers.

If you want to learn advanced syntax, this tutorial.

Popping open a @paranoidcactus will advance your programming skill.

What stuff do you already know?
