tabUtil.lua library for use with Picotron
Contains useful functions for working with tables
Install with load #base64 and run it with crtl+r
A new file will be created /appdata/system/lib/tabUtil.lua
I personally love to use tabUtil.toString(#Table), its handy for debugging
Contains 3 functions, Usage Below
include("/appdata/system/lib/tabUtil.lua") myTable = { name="Microsoft", employees={"Bill Gates", "Some Dude"}, myFunction=function () print("Im a function") end, } meSecondTable = tabUtil.shallowCopy(myTable) myTable = {} print(tabUtil.getKeyCount(meSecondTable)) print(tabUtil.toString(meSecondTable)) |
This prints out the following

since Picotron 0.1.0c, I got some issue typing AltCar caraters like []{} and the problem still there on latest 0.1.0d. Do I'm the only one who still got that bug there?
Hello all,
With the release of the alpha of Picotron, I've been thinking about how the growth and adoption of Picotron may possibly affect PICO-8 as well.
I'm curious to hear what any of you have to say — Do you think Picotron will make PICO-8 obsolete due to its more advanced tools, or do you think PICO-8 will maintain its appeal? Will much interest from the community flow towards Picotron leaving PICO-8 behind, or do they occupy distinct niches that can coexist?
As someone who has a few PICO-8 projects I have been working on that have yet to be completed/released, I'm wondering which fantasy platform might be more worthwhile in the long run to focus on, if a choice must be made. I wonder what PICO-8 will still have that would continue to attract those who might also be interested in Picotron.
When Picotron gets into full swing, will any of you keep sticking around with PICO-8 or will you mostly switch to the new platform?
Thoughts?
Here's my next overly-easy game!

Hi,
I'm thinking about drafting a trailer/ad for Lexaloffle's fantasy consoles (PICO-8, Voxatron and possibly Picotron). if anyone has any carts they want to submit for a highlight reel, or any ideas for the trailer, please leave a post in this thread!

Wash's Game - 2024 Game Jelly
I'm participating in the 2024 Game Jelly and needed a place to stash my project so folks can play it.
v0.3 - Day 6
There is now a core game loop though it isn't very flashy at this point and needs more variety.
- Added lots of sprites for future enemies and attacks
- Map now moves!
- Wag attack fades out
- Added sfx for damage, enemies, and picking up bones
- Pick up bones for EXP!
- Added EXP and LV system
- Level ups refill health
- Level ups decrease time between wag attacks
- In the future they will give the option for different weapons
- Added sprites for another dog (co-op?)
v0.1 - Day 1
Boy, figuring out how to get the enemies to follow you was hard, but it works now!
- Changed BG to black
- Cleaned up sprites to show better on black BG
- Added tail wag attack (collision is buggy)
- Added cats as placeholder enemies
- Cats can be tail wagged at
- Cats follow you (so hard to figure out!)
- Barking is still just for funzies
v0.0 - Midnight Start
Put in two solid hours tonight and got a lot accomplished. The current idea is to make a vampire survivors style game.
- Got my basic project set up
- Plugged in my game intro
- Hooked up my dog sprites
- Got movement working and a basic animation system in place
- Added "press O to bark" for funzies
Still learning this thing (I am not a programmer). Had an idea for an easy game but wanted to see how I could get blob-type graphics working first to see how they'd potentially look. Kind of fun to watch.
Z -> Shoot
X -> Dash/Bomb (stop moving + press X to switch modes)
(Bombs don't currently work)
Started work on a game in which a hermit crab looks for a new home. Shelving it for now while I work on some other things but I liked the cute animation of the crab so I figured I would post it. Enjoy.
I think PICO-8 palette become boring a bit and I propose to change it to something that looks more like a toy, Sweetie16 palette is a good example I think. I made this and i don't mind. example how it would look:
first "game" on pico 8 hope you enjoy!
