This cart is a game engine for the Pico-8. It's heavily based on flickgame, of course rewritten from scratch for the P8. Basically, you draw frames, and script the transitions between frames when a certain colour is clicked.
Controls
Mouse strongly recommended: Left click to interact/click buttons, right mouse to erase and exit play mode
Dpad and buttons can be used to replace mouse if you really want
Features
- 8 64x64 px, 16 colour frames
- Save to cart and autoplay to make standalone cartridges
- Save/load to clipboard for handy sharing
- Crappy editor UI
I might write up some more stuff about the technical side later. The actual code sucks, don't look at it. :)
Here's an example cart (remember you can right mouse/button 2 to exit play mode and view the source):
If anyone makes anything cool please feel free to share here, as a cart or a clipboard save.
I cracked open the editor to make another demo:
Sadly it seems you can't load from the clipboard in the web player, otherwise I would have posted this that way.
Hah took me a while to understand how it works but it's pretty neat!
(I'm gonna try using this to make a small game maker!)
