https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?uid=15307 <p>Hey everybody! </p> <p>I downloaded Pico-8 a little while ago because while I've developed some games in the past - they've all been with programs that didn't require any coding on my part (like Twine). But I've really wanted to start working on what I've always wanted to make: a basic exploration-based platformer. I've never really worked with code in my life and I've looked up several tutorials, but I haven't found anything yet on how to make a game like this and I'm really struggling with getting started on this (coding is a lot more intimidating than I thought even though Pico-8 simplifies things by a huge margin). </p> <p>Basically what I'm asking is - where do I get started to make a basic 2D platformer ala Super Mario? Thank you so much to anyone in advance who has any helpful advice or comments. If I ever get my passion project made I'll be sure to share it with everyone here :-) </p> https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=27745 https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=27745 Mon, 26 Sep 2016 00:04:38 UTC <p>Hey everybody! </p> <p>I downloaded Pico-8 a little while ago because while I've developed some games in the past - they've all been with programs that didn't require any coding on my part (like Twine).
