hello!

  • start pico8
  • type folder
  • copy the carts there (p8 or p8.png)
  • back to pico8
  • type load democart.p8 or load picotunes2-0.p8.png to load a cart!
  • type import sprites.png to import a spritesheet

(the difference is that .p8.png is a full cart with code music etc but .png is only sprites)

Thank you so much

oh also you can type load de then press Tab and pico8 will autocomplete the possible filenames! if there are multiple that begin with the same characters, you will have to write more then Tab again
