Growing and Learning With Pico-8 - Celesmeh
Odds are if you are reading this, you know what Pico-8 is. You've seen videos, looked at the forums, Reddit, watched gifsor seen tweetcarts. Pico-8 is an amazing fantasy console that opens the world of game development and programming up to many, But what makes it such a good starting point? Why is Pico 8 generally seen as one of the best tools to enter the world of programming and the world of game development?

Realtime metaballs demo. Uses the map as a 16x16 8-bit texture, upscaled using a bilinear filter function.

Hello! :D
I've had pico-8 for a long while but didn't start making things with it until recently, and it's been a lot of fun learning programming!
The artwork is drawn by me, and the scrolling text is from the end poem from minecraft which is in the public domain

I downloaded Pico8 in 2021 and catching up again now...and started to see the potential and love the simple language from a non-programmer perspective. I'm more of an artist but recently found out about Lazy Devs youtube videos and patiently follow each shmup vid, I can see hope in creating my own shmup. I love shmup since the late 80s growing up visiting local arcade often. Now I have to really focus on making my own 1st shmup game..
Thank you too to Nerd teacher, Lazy Dev, and others for all your time and energy in making the software and tutorial vids

i made a new profile picture for myself, because
- i got the idea to draw a lavender-colored figure with a spiral on their belly as my profile picture
- i found this idea too cute to not do
because i use this website just for PICO-8, i wanted to make a profile picture that can be shown in PICO-8
tools
i did not use PICO-8 as my only tool.
just like with most PICO-8 cartridges that i make,
making and referencing mockups in Pixelorama is really important to save hours of time
limitations
i could not find a color combination with the PICO-8 extended palette that leaves the important details visible (according to my color contrast table) that has the figure in lavender.
so i changed the figure to purple — a color that is close enough to lavender that it still looks great

UPDATE: Part II Thread https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=52692
A new year, a new fantasy machine! Picotron Playground is an experimental web version of Picotron's WIP runtime and API, bundled with a terminal and code editor in order to make some toy programs. You can read more about the goals of Picotron and its specifications in the FAQ:
https://www.lexaloffle.com/picotron.php?page=faq
Although I'm still mostly occupied with PICO-8 and Voxatron, I hope this will be a good way to chip away at the project and let future users try out the API in a low-stakes way before it is ready to go into production.
Launch Picotron Playground here:

Note: you'll need a US layout keyboard and there is no permanent storage, although the clipboard does work if you want to store some snippets. Please work on anything larger than toy programs at your own risk!
