Is there a way to, at runtime, trigger a reload of the game (changed code, possibly with #include s, and all) ?
Reason : I'm coding in an external editor and want to eliminate the edit-save-switch-run-switch loop by periodically, say within _update, trigger said reload+run.
Thanks

Here’s a simple example:
a=0
while(a<4) a+=1 if(a!=3) ?a
print('lol')
|
Expected output:
1 2 4 lol |
Actual output:
1 lol 2 lol lol 4 lol |

CPU meter can also be switched using Ctrl + O. As per the PICO-8 manual, originally only Ctrl + P is required.
This specification seems strange to me.
Recently, it has become possible to implement an option to operate in combination with Ctrl.
For example, when developing tools, there are times when you want to use the Ctrl + O keys to open files (data).

Some school project that needs some work on (Im very new to coding and pico-8!)
I still have yet to know how to add coins or enemies within the game
so please if you have any advice feel free to pitch in any ideas to help!

This is my game for global game jam 2024, from Rome, Italy
It's a Street Fighter style game turn based. Your opponent starts a joke, and you have to replay in the right way using the right movement combination.
Jokes are in italian just because they are inspired by Pera Toons a famous italian author for kids. The game is designed in coop with my 9 years old daughter Margherita who also creates the pixel art

Someone randomly mentioned Minecraft on the official unofficial Discord, and with the PICO-8 Free Music Jam starting tomorrow (plug!), that inspired this chill but slightly dissonant background loop. Approximately two and a quarter minutes long, uses 00, 01, and 02 for custom SFX instruments, total of 15 SFX and 16 patterns.
Music is CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0, art is "Twilight" by RDexter on Flickr, CC-BY-NC 2.0.

My First Try - This "Game" is a Test!
After some umming and ahhing I decided to give PICO 8 a try. I've played around with the likes of Unity before, but for all intents and purposes I'm a complete noob when it comes to both coding and game dev.
The Intention
My intention here was to get familiar with PICO 8 and Lua. I spent a few weeks looking at tutorials and making up as I went along. The general plan was to create a vertical slice of a top down shooter in a similar vein to the classic VIC-20 game AMOK.
The Concept
The protagonist is able to move and shoot projectiles in 4 directions from a top down perspective.

Hi, new to PICO-8. I installed it on my Mac and it runs fine. But I downloaded some carts from Lexaloffle and when I copy the pathname to one and type "load PATHNAME" I receive the "Could not load" message. It doesn't matter which folder the cart is in and I've tried it with two carts that my friend got working. I checked that PICO-8 has read/write permissions. What could be going wrong?
Thanks

Welcome to Glark vs Gooblins! This was my first time using Pico8 and I had a blast.
Use arrow keys to move.
Use Z to swing the hammer in the direction Glark moved!
Use Z to throw the hammer, but make sure you're moving!
Use Z to catch the hammer if it's flying! Careful though!
Use X to throw bombs! Make sure you have some.
Try using the hammer to smack a bomb!
Please leave a comment if you enjoyed the game, and check out my other offerings on Itch.io!

PELOGEN2 has released!!
I previously created a 3D modeling tool called "pelogen".
It was designed to run on pico-8 with a minimum amount of data, and with its 16x16x16 vertex coordinates and one-stroke triangulation, it was almost exclusively a tool for myself.
This time, the specifications were revised from there, and the tool was created with an eye to making the data a bit larger and easier to model.
-
The vertices will be edited in such a way that triangles are added, instead of the specification of adding vertices one by one.
And we will set a color for each face.
- You can JOIN the vertices of each triangle to simplify vertex movement and build complex shapes.
- You can duplicate selected triangles and rotate or flip vertices by a limited number of angles.
