sometimes maeks games
I did not find a global "feature request" thread, so I've made this one, sorry if I've missed one.
I'm really enjoying picotron, and it feels like a breath of fresh air after all the modern software we've gotten so used to!
The animations, customization and everything else is so awesome! And the community has jumped on the train to create so many useful commands already, like the yotta package manager, etc. It is great to see how expandable the system is.
Yet I feel like there are a few things, that would be very nice to have, that we can't really implement ourselves right now, as far as I'm, aware. I will list them here, and please feel free to add in the comments. Hopefully this will be a helpful thread for @zep
- I don't think there is a way to implement the
rebootcommand without system-level code right now, yet it can be very useful at times - I think adding sound effects to some actions would greatly increase the system charm!
- Maybe I'm missing something, but I do not think there is a way to change the system apps permanently, aka make them survive the system reset. I was playing around with trying to modify the file explorer to have a right click menu (delete, rename, info, etc), but the .p64 files seems to be reset every time. Same applies for the desktop, for example, if not modify it completely out right, maybe we could have some system-level right-click menu functionality? Would be amazing

Hello there!
For the past 2 years me together with @MatheusMortatti have been slowly working on a full featured PICO-8 emulator with full RAM emulation and so on. And we are happy to announce, that the project is now finally in a playable state!
You can grab it for free on steam or compile it from source!
Huge thanks to all the authors, who allowed to include their carts in the release collection, and I hope this work will be useful for the community!
The code is written in a way to be easily ported to new platforms, right now we have pinvoke and SDL2 backends, and thats enough to run inside of Unity and all current gen consoles, but it's really easy to add support for platforms like 3DS and so on!

Was made for one of the first pizza jams (proof).
Probably, but not sure, later became awesome game Tomato Worm.

Made for local game jam under 48h hours. Platformer about bending space and connecting it in your mind. Have fun.

Implementation of lox language (see this awesome book to learn more about it) in PICO-8.
Try typing basic commands like:
rectfill(32, 32, 58, 58, 9)
print("hello", 10, 10, 8) |
For more syntax reffer to this page. I dont think I've implemented OOP, tho.
Runs a basic AST-walker, so it might be slow, but I got some simple PICO-8 carts running, like this one:
