I've seen that some people have made their own boot animation carts, but I would like to make my own, and have it where it will run a command at the end of the animation that makes Pico 8 boot into splore.
This is how it could work in a dedicated Pico 8 machine:
Turn on machine > autorun Pico 8 via bash script or something else with the -run animationcart.p8.png command at the end> animation runs > code at end of cart executes extcmd(splore) or another command that makes Pico 8 go to splore.
I've came up a idea to go around doing this, but it is too clunky. I could make a bash script that runs 2 instances of Pico 8 at the same time. One will boot into Pico 8 and run the cart, but shutdown that instance of Pico 8 afterwards, then the other Pico 8 instance would still be running and be in splore.
I would like to see this added in a future version of Pico 8 if possible. Thanks for making Pico 8 and have a great day.
Just opened the bbs to request the same thing!
Maybe the bugs category would make this more visible to zep?
This! this would be cool, I like this.
plus possibly getting a fistful of SPLORE BBS cart IDs for our own custom SPLORE if we want, but the main thing is definitely "launch splore from cart".
