Full Tutorial Series. <h1>What is it?</h1> <p>Last year I wrote a six-part tutorial series for <a href="https://magpi.raspberrypi.org/">The MagPi magazine</a> that takes a complete novice all the way from installing PICO-8, to designing a full game with audio and effects, to releasing it on the BBS. The MagPi is a fantastic UK magazine that covers everything Raspberry Pi related and, with <em>unfathomable generosity</em>, makes all their issues available online for free in .pdf form. I post the full collection here now in the hope that they are useful.</p> <img loading="lazy" style="margin-bottom:16px" border=0 src="/media/12197/D-DMn8wXsAIb_HB.jpeg" alt="" /> <h1>Tutorial list</h1> <h3>Tutorial 1: Get Started with PICO-8 and Raspberry Pi</h3> <p>Turn your Raspberry Pi into the coolest console around with PICO-8!

I noticed that after editing on an external text editor, attempting to reload the cart with cmd+r caused PICO-8 to completely crash and quit.</p> <p>It seemed to only happen if the cart.p8 file had been changed in someway. cmd+r works fine without edits.</p> <p>Anyone else having this issue?</p> https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=33855 https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=33855 Fri, 12 Apr 2019 13:27:16 UTC S W O R D F I S H <p> <table><tr><td> <a href="/bbs/?pid=51754#p"> <img src="/bbs/thumbs/pico51752.png" style="height:256px"></a> </td><td width=10></td><td valign=top> <a href="/bbs/?pid=51754#p"> S W O R D F I S H 1.0</a><br><br> by <a href="/bbs/?uid=12197"> chowyunbrent</a> <br><br><br> <a href="/bbs/?pid=51754#p"> [Click to Play]</a> </td></tr></table> </p> <img loading="lazy" style="margin-bottom:16px" border=0 src="https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/files/12197/swordfish_v1_1.gif" width=256 height=256 alt="" /> <img loading="lazy" style="margin-bottom:16px" border=0 src="https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/files/12197/swordfish_v1_4.gif" width=256 height=256 alt="" /> <p>S W O R D F I S H</p> <p>An aquatic action game.
