  • fake-08

    A Pico-8 player/emulator for console homebrew

  • fake-08, written in c++ with an SDL backend: If you want/need accurate p8 behavior, down to stuff like peek+poke and fixed point precision, look here. (As a disclosure I have contributed to this project)

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • picolove

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

  • 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!
