    Hi i'm having problems with the movement I put everything you put, but there is no input, maybe its because i'm on mac but I don't really know

      Make sure it's all under the _update() function.

    Hello, Can you tell me where can i find what all buttons do for each of the tabs in Pico 8? For example, in the sprite editor there are the numbers 0-1 in the bottom right and i would like to know what they do. I had a look at the PICO 8 users manual but it is only a wall of text without any picture depicting the buttons.

    • @spacecat88
      @spacecat88  Рік тому +1

      Those are flags for the sprites. They are used to sort of categorize the sprites and add interactivity.

      Make sure you're adding cls() in the draw function BEFORE any other draw code.
