PicoLove
A free and open-source PICO-8 API implementation in LÖVE for running PICO-8 games on other platforms.
What is PicoLove?
PICOLOVE is an open-source reimplementation of the PICO-8 fantasy console's API using the LÖVE 2D game framework. It enables developers to run PICO-8 games and programs as standalone applications on various platforms, including mobile, without the original hardware's limitations. The project provides extended debugging tools and configurable controls while maintaining core compatibility with PICO-8 cartridges.
Game developers and hobbyists who create or play PICO-8 games and want to publish them on other platforms, especially mobile, or who need more flexibility and debugging capabilities than the original PICO-8 offers.
Developers choose PICOLOVE because it is free, open-source, removes PICO-8's arbitrary CPU and memory limits, supports cross-platform publishing, and adds enhanced debugging features, all while leveraging the robust LÖVE framework for broader device compatibility.
