Wouldn’t be possible without help from the great community on the Pico-8 Discord.

Use left and right keys arrows to move.
Restart cart to get different hills and snow.

Easily make Pico-8 Boot/Run Portable on USB for Windows with this one file.

I usually play on my Mac with native install of Pico-8 and occasionally I work on Windows and love tinkering when I get board, so when I am away form my Mac and working on Windows; I made a simple tool to easily help make Pico-8 run portable on Windows.

Install

1 . Simply download the Windows: zip of Pico-8 and extract it to your usb.

2 . Then download this pico8usb.bat file.

3 . Place pico8usb.bat in the root folder of your Pico-8 extraction folder on your usb where pico8.exe is located (example in image below).

4 . Run pico8usb.bat

5 . Enjoy.

Running pico8usb.bat will create and setup your usb install of Pico-8 to run portable on your usb.

Config

You can configure pico8usb.bat, I have set some example parameters as a demo but you can change them to your liking.

This is a simple Pico-8 slideshow cart project.

I was inspired by @zep ‘s Practice 2018 talk presentation done with Pico-8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87jfTIWosBw

So I thought this would be a great project for me to practice and learn coding with Pico-8.

List items are almost working, just need to figure out how to make them appear in one at a time (fade in on btn(3))

How to use:

  • left and right arrow keys to navigate the slides
  • x to fast forward
  • z to rewind

How to edit

Change the slides table with your own content

For title pages:

 
{text="pico-8 slidshow\n\nby 2358",
   bgcol=13,col=7,
   tx=12,ty=35},

For animated/slide in topics list:

 
{text="sections",
   bgcol=0,col=7,
   tx=20,ty=20,
   alist={text={
         "topic 1",
         "topic 2",
         "topic 3",
         "topic 4",
         "topic 5"},
         lx=128*2,ly=40,
         ldx=20,
         col={2,13,12,11,10}}},

For list items: (todo: fade in one at a time)

 
{text="list items 1",
   marker=2,
   bgcol=0,col=7,
   tx=20,ty=20,
   mlist={text={
         "",
         "this is a",
         " ★ pico-8 ★ ",
         " slideshow",
         " awsome!",
         " thank you!"},
         lx=20,ly=20}},

To show slide page numbers (change false to true)

 
show_slide_numbers=false
 
show_slide_numbers=true

Would love to see @zep ‘s original cart on this for comparison
