A P8 file contains PICO-8 source code, which is used to program a small, 8-bit retro-style game that can be played with the PICO-8 virtual fantasy gaming console. It contains source code with lua skriptikieli syntaksi, along with references to sprites, sound effects, maps, and music data that make up the game.
P8 file open in Microsoft Notepad
You will most likely only encounter a P8 file if you are developing a game in PICO-8 and save the source code as a "cartridge," which creates the P8 file to store the contents. You may also acquire the P8 file if you download the source code of a PICO-8 game or receive it from another PICO-8 developer.
P8 files can be opened with PICO-8, which allows you to run the game locally and make builds of the game. PICO-8 comes with several editors, including Code, Sprite, Map, SFX, and Music, that enable you to modify specific parts of the game stored in the P8 file.
You can also open and modify a P8 file with a text editor, such as Microsoft Notepad or Apple TextEdit. However, plain text editors do not provide the same features as PICO-8.
PICO-8 on monialainen ohjelma, jonka avulla voit luoda, pelata ja jakaa pieniä retro-tyylisiä pelejä. Pelejä voidaan tallentaa "virtuaalikaseteina" .8 or .p8.png file extensions. As previously mentioned, P8 files are saved in text format and are used to store source code for games that are still in development. .P8.PNG files are saved in a binary format similar to the . PNG format, and can be shared and played online.
