Development

In the browser

  1. Run npm i && npm run dev

In a native pico-8

Keep the project folder where you keep all your coding projects, then symlink it to the pico-8 carts folder. On a Mac this would be something similar to:

ln -s $HOME/dev/piconet $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/pico-8/carts

In the pico8 terminal you can load the game by running:

load piconet/piconet.p8

Deployment

  1. Make sure to set a shell variable for $PICO8_PATH. On a Mac, something similar to the following can be added to your .bashrc or .zshrc or whatever shell you use.

    export PICO8_PATH="/Applications/pico-8/PICO-8.app/Contents/MacOS/pico8"
  2. Run npm run export.

  3. Push to Github.
