Hello, Can you tell me where can i find what all buttons do for each of the tabs in Pico 8? For example, in the sprite editor there are the numbers 0-1 in the bottom right and i would like to know what they do. I had a look at the PICO 8 users manual but it is only a wall of text without any picture depicting the buttons.

[@spacecat88]

Those are flags for the sprites. They are used to sort of categorize the sprites and add interactivity.

[@Ben-cl2co]

Can you make games in pico-8 and sell them else where like steam?

[@bouncybubble]

I believe so

[@Mr._Nog]

Hi i'm having problems with the movement I put everything you put, but there is no input, maybe its because i'm on mac but I don't really know

[@spacecat88]

Make sure it's all under the _update() function.

[@Mob-Inc]

Chat gpt game very clutch for the coding

[@polaris911]

is there something like Pico8 but has better specifications? The resolution is too low

[@spacecat88]

Look up Picotron or love2D

[@neizih2809]

[@kaan_tuna]

10:48 Haha that pun

[@SPEEDYDIM2]

I’m having a problem actually testing my game no matter what code there is it’s not showing

[@spacecat88]

Make sure you're adding cls() in the draw function BEFORE any other draw code.
