PICO-8 Tower Defense Tutorial - Part 01 - Getting started!
24Hey everyone. Welcome to my new series on how to create a tower defense game using PICO-8.
For those that don't know, PICO-8 is a "Fantasy Console" allowing you to create small compact games very quickly. It's loads of fun.
In this intermediate series we'll be going through the various states and setup needed to create a game. In this tutorial, I talk about game states, as well as setup the main menu and show a very basic state switch. Getting the fundamentals in early means we'll be in a good place to write the rest of the code in a clean managable way.
