Pico Jam Library

Some code that's hopefully useful for your PICO-8 game.

Features:

• Game State System
  • Create states with their own init, update, & draw functions.
  • Includes a screen fade that can be used for state transitions.
• Dialogs & Menus
  • A simple dialog box for displaying text.
  • Create multiple choice menus that support custom callback functions.
• Actor System
  • Create actors to store game data per object.
  • Actors can have custom update & draw functions.
  • Very basic 2D collision detection between actors.

The demo cart includes examples of how these features can be used.

The demo includes assets adapted from Kenney's Micro Roguelike pack.

Code can be included from the cart or feel free to copy code into your game directly. Each system is in its own tab to make it easier to pick and choose what features you want.

• Tab 0 = Demo Code
• Tab 1 = Game State System (GS)
• Tab 2 = Dialog & Menu System (DM)
• Tab 3 = Actor System (AS)

See the PICO-8 Manual for details on including code in your game.
