<THIS IS NOT A GAME it's my first step Studying pico-8>
And this is my first post on Pico-8 community too. I am a Senior 3D Artist. I am a maker and i create my own handhelds (based on RaspberryPi)-You can search for CompactPiArcade over instagram.
Not sure if i need to flag this code/cart as a Work In Progress... Sorry if I did anything wrong. I am learning how to post and to make part of all this.

This is my first steps (baby steps) and first attempt EVER doing something that looks like a "game". It's FAR from a game at this point, but it's a start.
Pico-8 is new for me, and i am not a coder. I am a 3DArtist, so everything here is PRETTY BASIC and probably messy. Any suggestions are very welcome.
I just love shootem'up games, and if i end up doing anything that resembles a "space invader" it's already a victory. lol

This is the result of half a day learning pico-8. My main problem now is how to spawn more than one laser at once. I know (and watched some tutorials) that the answer to this would be using tables right ? But the tutorial i found for this in context (Spawning sprites) was a bit beyond my knowledge to follow. I am looking for something much simples like just firing a sprite with a button. This community is AMAZING and i am pretty sure I will find lots of sample files, snippets, and everything i am looking for. :)
