This thread is just to say thank you to zep for making the SPLORE feature :)

I have a dedicated gaming computer that is permanently hooked up to my TV in my living room and I just had the sense to put PICO-8 on it, and let me tell you: using SPLORE on it with a wireless Xbox 360 controller is so fun!!

I am discovering carts I've never played before just because this interface makes it so easy to browse through carts!

Sure it has some flaws that I trust will be addressed (I'm looking at you, search), but man is the overall concept such a great one! I happily discovered it's even possible to type into the search box by selecting characters using the controller!? So coool!

And I made a shortcut to PICO-8 with the -splore command-line argument so it boots straight into SPLORE mode, and then I launch that shortcut from Steam Big Picture Mode with a controller...it's just a dream <3

Thanks, zep, for turning my living room into a PICO-8 arcade! :D

Seconded. I am glad pico-8 has it's own BBS browser. Makes it very easy to find and play new things. Looking at the BBS content from in the "game" was one of the major things I liked about Voxatron,

I can't figure out how to access it. I've tried typing splore at the prompt (syntax error) and starting P8 with the -splore option (normal P8) and nothing works. What am I doing wrong?

::EDIT::
Never mind, I didn't realize there was an update. I was on 0.1.1... :)
