Going from Lua 5.2 to PICO-8's Lua

This information applies to the PICO-8 0.1.6 release.

This document is here to help folks with a proficiency in Lua understand the limitations and discrepencies between Lua and PICO-8's Lua.

You can always view the manual or yellowafterlife's extended 0.1.1 manual.

General

  • anything written in uppercase the PICO-8 editor or .p8 is made lowercase by the editor. → editing the .p8 file directly can work
  • print(function() end) outputs the string function instead of the string function: 0x0000000.
