Post by moosepr » Tue Mar 07, 2017 1:55 pm

Has anyone done much playing with pico-8?

I had a little go with some of the 'carts' this afternoon online and it looks fun

Also if you bought the early humble indie bundles, and you got the voxatron bundle, then you automagically also got a key for P8

So that's what you really look like! Image
:P

Is it worth spending the extra few bux for the voxatron bundle? Will that play on a pi?

Lol. That's the random avatar the bbs assigns you ;) I only have this one on here because it auto scraped it from my Gmail that I signed up with ;)

Voxatron doesn't have a pi build BUT Zep had shown vids of it running on CHIP so maybe sometime soon... I'd get vox anyway. Pico-8 is just a 2-d version of vox! And it's pretty cool

The next step of course is pico-8 on my mini GBz... :D
