Hi, I just wanted to post this information somewhere in case it's helpful for other folks.
I am running Void Linux on a Raspberry Pi 1B. Void is an independent distribution, not related to Debian or the Ubuntu or Arch families. When I downloaded the raspberry pi image of pico-8 and tried to run it I got an error that it was missing some libraries, so I manually had to install them to /usr/lib, and then was able to run it normally! Hooray!
If you're comfortable in the command line, here's how to download the missing libraries from github and install them in the correct place to be found and used by pico-8.
sudo wget https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/raw/master/opt/vc/lib/libbcm_host.so -P /usr/lib/ sudo wget https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/raw/master/opt/vc/lib/libvchiq_armso -P /usr/lib/ sudo wget https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/raw/master/opt/vc/lib/libvcos.so -P /usr/lib/ |
I'm running an extremely old Raspberry Pi 1B, so Pico-8 warns that it's running slower than 30fps, but I still found plenty to enjoy in playing the latest posted games and coding.
brekoutfeverforever is a size-coded breakout. using 256b (rom) for a whole endless breakout. third place at lovebyte 2023.

Thanks once again to everyone, especially in our Discord Server, who participated in all the helpful ways we prepared this zine throughout the month. And special thanks to all the extra contributors who welcomed me warmly as I jumped in the DMs.
Love this community!
Happy reading!
this idea came to me while i was making my multi-cart, its not the coding thats hard, no, its tedious, even with copy and paste, it gets tedious, and debugging can get tedious as well! so, i quit making games, its not that i quit pico-8! im gonna exclusively make songs now! the only other thing i am able to do is songs. so, goodbye game dev, hello composer

This prototype was made for Pico-View, a monthly web-zine hosted on NerdyTeachers.com.
This month's prototype is named "Sokolike". It is a template for building your own Sokoban-like game.
If you are not familiar with Sokoban, meaning "warehouse worker" in Japanese, it is an MS DOS puzzle game from 1982 where you must push blocks around walls and other blocks to get them all to designated locations.
We have included a level building function that will read each pixel in a 16x16 sprite and use that to place appropriate tiles on the map. This means that you can draw and edit your level designs easily using the sprite sheet! There are 16 example levels and 52 total levels available to be made.
multicarts are cool, so im gonna make one
i have no information on how to do this, so im just gonna make the simplest type of multicart, literaly just loading different carts for different levels, i dont know why multicart games like poom dont use this! although, i may be wrong about how cart loading works... hopefully i dont need to worry though! ill try to push through and make the best cart ever!
