Hi Community,
I'm brand new to PICO-8 (like, started using it today). I have an issue. A typo in my filename when i saved it, so I re-saved my game and now I have two :(
testgame.p8
testgame#.p8
I've tried DEL/DELETE [filename] but i get the message:
SYNTAX ERROR
SYNTAX ERROR NEAR 'TESTGAME'
I want to remove testgame#.p8
This may be trivial, but i like a clean environment.
Thanks,
roberto
created a testdir and tried to delete this: FAILED!
tried:
DELETEDIR(foldername)
RM -R(foldername)
help!
I think PICO-8 limits you to only constructive commands from within itself. Nothing destructive like "del" or "rmdir".
I think this is to keep anyone from managing to harm your computer with a malware game.
On the bright side, zep makes it easy to do the work using your desktop UI. Just type "folder" inside PICO-8 and it should spawn, e.g. in Windows, a File Explorer window already in the right location for you to manipulate the actual .p8 files.
Thanks Felice, that makes sense ;)
