pico8 draw dot

To draw a dot in Lua using PICO-8, you can follow these steps:

  1. Set the color: Use the pal() function to specify the color of the dot. For example, pal(7, 14) will set the current color to the light blue palette index.

  2. Set the position: Use the pset() function to specify the position of the dot. For example, pset(50, 50) will draw a dot at coordinates (50, 50) on the screen.

  3. Display the dot: Use the flip() function to update the display and show the dot on the screen.

Here's an example code snippet that puts it all together:

-- Set the color
pal(7, 14)

-- Set the position
pset(50, 50)

-- Display the dot
flip()

This code will draw a light blue dot at coordinates (50, 50) on the screen. Remember to adjust the color and position values to achieve the desired result.
