Top 23 pico-8 Open-Source Projects

• pyxel

  41 13,175 9.7 Rust

  A retro game engine for Python

Project mention: Show HN: Driftmania – an open source PICO-8 racing game | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-16

Nice work, gives me very Micro Machines vibes for the NES. The only thing I don't like about PICO-8 is that its completely closed source. An open source alternative that seems very promising is Pyxel. It has similar retro / pixel art limitations, a built-in sprite editor, music tracker, etc.

  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!
