PICO-8 Character Design
Mar 23–May 4 2022
- HIVE’s PICO-8 videos - watch first one to get on your PICO-8 feet, the rest if you want to jumpstart your coding skillz for a future HIVE project on your own time
- Intro to music in PICO-8 - there is a video at top and a bunch of notes and overviews in the unfurlable section headings underneath
- PICO-8 in the browser - tinker with PICO-8 code right in your browser! Works on Windows, MacOS, Chromebook——even iOS and Android——but external keyboard is necessary if you're connecting from a phone or tablet!

function flipbook(a,b)
local index=flr((t()*fr)%#a+1)
--print(index,10,10,8)
if b and b[index] and stat(46)~=b[index] then sfx(b[index],0) end
return a[index]
end
Things to try:
- in the prompt type load #wobblepaint
- ctrl+8 to set animated gif starting point, ctrl+9 to save out the animated gif
