Tic is fun to but for some reason or another the games are lacking a bit, at least what I’ve seen so far, probably hvent looked enough. But regardless, im happy for both platforms to coexist. And btw pico is paid but something like $15 for kit. Thats almost symbolic. Whoever works on it diserves some compensation, no?

    I love Pico-8, such a chilled out development environment. What I like most is how accesible it is... it's great for people to learn with, and it's a great platform for advanced coders to show off on. If I could add just 1 feature though... easy map loading and saving... let us make big games easily.

    The only concern is the lack of save games.
    I read somewhere that a persistant storage is technically possible but (almost?) no game seem to use it so progress is gone after each new game launch.
    Apart from that it's an amazing invention.

    • @huseyinyasar6485
      @huseyinyasar6485 Před 2 lety

      Moonrace saves the medals you've collected so far if you want to look into. It requires poking bytes to a specific address as far as I understand, so we need to do parsing manually. It seems to me it is practical to save a very simple data, like only one integer which represents current level etc.

    • @TarikA
      @TarikA Před 2 lety

      @@huseyinyasar6485 Yeah, you can save a few integers or booleans and I know it's already possible but the more I wonder, why it's so rarely used. I will check Moonrace (thanks) but I think all games should support it where you progress through levels or something. Also the official emulator should allow save states. It really is the only downside of PICO-8, as much as I love it.
      I understand, the games are small anyway and meant for a few "quick runs" but especially with harder games, where each solved level took some time, I'd love to save and continue the next day. I'm working 40 hours a week and only have time for a few minutes a day for gaming. This way I won't ever see the last levels of "harder" games. :P

      @@TarikA I guess it's one of those "philosophy of pico8" moments :) the thing is, it is so neat and fun that we want to use it more, but it is always that one limitation. I'd throw away unity for good if pico8 was just a little bit more flexible.

    • @TarikA
      @TarikA Před 2 lety

      @@huseyinyasar6485 Totally agree. I too would develop a game for the PICO-8 rather than another one in Unity. However, a native save STATE feature should be pretty easily implementable into the main emulator and would solve all save issues. On the other hand it's up to each developer to include save GAME values like the reached level and I guess Lex should do a blog post telling all people to do so, otherwise it won't happen to the majority of games.

As you said, it is about what is meant for. It kind of comes down to being conservative or progressive, I guess :)
