Installation

Install Pico-8 from Lexaloffle
from Pico-8 command prompt, type: folder to open the carts directory
place the cyberdeck.p8 file in that directory
from Pico-8 command prompt, type: load cyberdeck
from Pico-8 command prompt, type: run to launch game

Quick Start: MAC

Launch Cyberdeck in Pico-8 from Terminal

/Applications/PICO-8.app/Contents/MacOS/pico8 -run ~/Library/Application\ Support/pico-8/carts/cyberdeck.p8

Open the project in VSCODE (replace username with your path )

code "/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/pico-8/carts/cyberdeck"

Notes

This repository includes the cyberdeck.p8 file which imports lua files. Outside of this repository should be a symbolic link to the cyberdeck.p8 found here. This will allow the folder to contain development assets without cluttering the pico-8 carts folder (this folder and a symlink is better than 20 files per project)

Resources

This cart makes use of several libraries.
