I'm just really curious what libraries etc. Zeb used to make Pico8, and make it cross platform. SDL2 maybe?


Dom't mean to derail the thread, but could someone use these libraries to create a pico cart player for something like an O-Droid GO?
I know they have some games running under SDL1.2, but not certain about 2.
Unless this would infringe on some use clause,in which case forget I mentioned it ;)


There's at least one open source Pico-8 cart player based on Lua Love, which is in turn based on SDL 2: https://github.com/picolove/picolove
I see Lua mentioned as a target language for ESP32 projects, so I presume the stock interpreter works fine. If that plus SDL 2 gets Lua Love working, that might be a path. CPU speed and RAM of the ODroid look super tight for this purpose but I've never actually profiled Pico-8 or Picolove. :)
