# Build your PICO-8 games in JavaScript

This project uses jspicl-cli to transpile your JavaScript code into PICO-8 cardridges.

`npm start` - Runs the game in PICO-8 and watches the source files for changes. Whenever a file is updated the cartridge is automatically reloaded with the new changes1.

`npm run build` - Only generates the cartridge for you.

## Updating spritesheet

With jspicl-CLI you don't need to draw your sprites in PICO-8 anymore. Simply edit the spritesheet file, save and the cart will be reloaded with the new changes.
