What is a P8.PNG File Type?
You will probably only encounter a P8.PNG file when trying to play a downloaded PICO-8 game from' Internet or shared by another PICO player-8. The files are compiled from the source code files PICO-8 at l' help from l' application PICO-8.
P8.PNG files can be played and opened with l' application PICO-8. The program can export a game in the form of a .HTML and .JS file that will be integrated and playable on a website or in the form of a .BIN file that will be played on Windows, MacOS and Linux.
P8.PNG files can be opened with programs that support PNG files. The programs will not be able to play the game, however, they will only be able to see the PNG image of the game cartridge.
PICO-8 is a-form cross-flatware program that lets you create, play and share tiny games of retro-style. You can save games under "virtual cartridges" with .p8 or .p8.png file extensions. The P8 files are saved in text format and used to store source code for games that are still under development. As mentioned earlier, P8.PNG files are saved in a binary format that can be read with PICO-8.
