Here I'm trying to understand what happens when I run

./hello

#include

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.

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.

	/*
	2D Angle Interpolation (shortest distance)

	Parameters:
	a0 = start angle
	a1 = end angle
	t = interpolation factor (0.0=start, 1.0=end)

	Benefits:
	1. Angles do NOT need to be normalized.

	static GLuint LoadPNG(const std::string& filename) {

	if( ! FileExists(filename)) {
	Exit("Cannot open png: %s.", filename.c_str());
	}

	FILE* fp = ::fopen(filename.c_str(), "r");

	png_structp png_ptr = png_create_read_struct(PNG_LIBPNG_VER_STRING, NULL, NULL, NULL);

	A compact pure-Lua JSON library.
	The main functions are: json.stringify, json.parse.

	## json.stringify:

	This expects the following to be true of any tables being encoded:
	* They only have string or number keys. Number keys must be represented as
	strings in json; this is part of the json spec.

	PICO-8 supports different undocumented videomodes that can be activated at runtime,
	using poke(0x5F2C, X) where X is one of the following mode numbers:

	0: 128x128, 0 pages
	1: 64x128, 1 page
	2: 128x64, 1 page
	3: 64x64, 3 pages
