PICO-8 Reimplementation in Love2D. Chat: https://discord.gg/jGEMUse6RM

Project mention: Pico 8 in other software | /r/pico8 | 2023-12-06

Picolove, written in lua for love2d: a very good starting point, especially if the engine you're using has support for lua. Has been used for "expanded" versions of games, because it's very easy to modify the resolution of the display and things like that. Works for simpler carts like Celeste, but is not memory accurate!
