jspicl / jspicl-mario-sample

A basic Mario game showcasing how to create PICO-8 games in JavaScript.

PICO-8 Mario

This is a sample project demonstrating how you can use jspicl-cli to build PICO-8 games with Javascript.

Usage

npm start

This will create a cartridge and automatically launch it in PICO-8. Whenever source files are changed, a rebuild will take place and reload PICO-8 with the updated cartridge for you.

npm run restore-cart

This will take the game.p8 cartridge in the project root and put it in the build directory for you. CAUTION: This will overwrite any existing cartridge in the destination folder so make sure you do a backup first.

Updating spritesheet

With jspicl-CLI you don't need to draw your sprites in PICO-8 anymore. Simply edit the spritesheet file, save and the cart will be reloaded with the new changes.

jspicl-mario-sample's Issues

Add keyframe animation for Spiny

Should have the same as for koopa. Sprite index 21

https://github.com/AgronKabashi/jspicl-mario-sample/tree/master/src/game/sprites

Null/non-value return from functions not supported

Hopefully easy fix.

Currently transpiles:

JS `return;`

to

Lua `return nil`

but should be

Lua do return end

Compiled carts don't run on Windows

Builds appear to work on Windows but the p8 output doesn't reflect the input.

Example: mario.p8.txt

I haven't looked in any detail yet but a few immediately obvious differences from the Linux output are no GFX or maps showing in the editor (even though they appear to be in the cart),and significantly bigger file size despite the 'missing' content.

• default: sprite 28, two width units, 1 frame
