A game I made t o learn pico-8

reset game from terminal

Hey!

I want to find a way to run my code from other editors such as vim or atom. I havent found a solution to this yet.

I know I can run a cartridge from terminal by typing "pico8 -run mycart.p8" for example. The problem with this is that it boots up the whole console before booting the game.

Do anyone know a way to just boot the game in an already running pico-session? That would be awesome.

EDIT: I just got the idea. If you run load("mycart.p8") in your code the cart gets reloaded and run with the new code. Is it possible to use the gpio to send a command that triggers load("mycart.p8") within the code? For a computer that does not have real a gpio-header I guessing you would have to simulate gpio?

Lagging sound on chrome

Hello!

Does anyone else experience laggy sound when hosting your pico8 games as html? This only occurs when using chrome for android. Firefox seems to handle it well. What it might be is that firefox preloads sound and chrome does not. Any ides?

cheers!
