Remember to download the zip file and move it to the directory you're building the package in (for paru, ~/.cache/paru/clone/pico-8).

PICO-8 is also available for the Raspberry Pi. That makes it possible for PICO-8 to run on armv6h and armv7h architectures. I don't know if it's also available for 64-bit ARM. Here is my adapted PKGBUILD to also support ARM 32 bit: # Maintainer: Adam Scott <ascott.ca@gmail.com> pkgname='pico8-bin' _pkgname='pico8' pkgver='0.1.8' pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="PICO-8 is a fantasy console for making, sharing and playing tiny games and other computer programs." arch=('i686' 'x86_64' 'armv6h' 'armv7h') url="http://www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.php" license=('custom:commercial') depends=('glibc') makedepends=('unzip') # Zip uses other terms for the architecture [ "${CARCH}" = "i686" ] && _platform="i386" [ "${CARCH}" = "x86_64" ] && _platform="amd64" [ "${CARCH}" = "armv6h" ] && _platform="arm" [ "${CARCH}" = "armv7h" ] && _platform="arm" _filename="pico-8_${pkgver}_${_platform}" # Hardcodes the source file for the .SRCINFO file source_i686=("local://pico-8_${pkgver}_i386.zip") source_x86_64=("local://pico-8_${pkgver}_amd64.zip") source_armv6h=("local://pico-8_${pkgver}_arm.zip") source_armv7h=("local://pico-8_${pkgver}_arm.zip") sha256sums_i686=('ea5dedfb078e29f2f2e635708cace383a75a60fb864414b8ee1eb1e2bdcfc041') sha256sums_x86_64=('6e851e40883e03bb94369b9d25bec3e3baa21bc7d18e0063937b5bb19903ce8a') sha256sums_armv6h=('e90bd42f2fe7767506415111465f6df645d2903aab8c1dc571139dfbb6fa9f76') sha256sums_armv7h=('e90bd42f2fe7767506415111465f6df645d2903aab8c1dc571139dfbb6fa9f76') noextract=("pico-8_${pkgver}_i386.zip" "pico-8_${pkgver}_amd64.zip" "pico-8_${pkgver}_arm.zip") prepare () { # Unzips the local zip unzip -o -q "${_filename}.zip" # Change directory to extracted folder cd "pico-8" # Changes licence filename in order to comply conventions mv "license.txt" "LICENSE" mv "lexaloffle-pico8.png" "pico8.png" } package () { # Change directory to extracted folder cd "${srcdir}/pico-8" # Creates variables storing paths local _wanteddestdir="/usr/share/${_pkgname}" local _destdir="${pkgdir}/${_wanteddestdir}" local _wantedbindir="/usr/bin" local _bindir="${pkgdir}/${_wantedbindir}" local _wantedmimedir="/usr/share/mime/packages" local _mimedir="${pkgdir}/${_wantedmimedir}" local _wantedappsdir="/usr/share/applications" local _appsdir="${pkgdir}/${_wantedappsdir}" local _wantedpixmapsdir="/usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps" local _pixmapsdir="${pkgdir}/${_wantedpixmapsdir}" # Creates local variables storing filenames local _pico8_license="LICENSE" local _pico8_bin="pico8" local _pico8_dyn="pico8_dyn" local _pico8_dat="pico8.dat" local _pico8_txt="pico8.txt" local _pico8_mime="pico8.xml" local _pico8_desktop="pico8.desktop" local _pico8_icon="pico8.png" # Makes fakeroot folders mkdir -p "${_destdir}" mkdir -p "${_bindir}" mkdir -p "${_appsdir}" mkdir -p "${_pixmapsdir}" # Creates a MIME configuration file cat <<< "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?> <mime-info xmlns=\"http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info\"> <mime-type type=\"application/pico8\"> <comment>pico-8 file</comment> <magic priority=\"50\"> <match type=\"string\" value=\"pico-8 cartridge\" offset=\"0\"/> </magic> <glob-deleteall/> <glob pattern=\"*.p8\"/> </mime-type> </mime-info>" > "${_pico8_mime}" # Creates a desktop entry file cat <<< "[Desktop Entry] Type=Application Version=1.0 Name=PICO-8 Comment=${pkgdesc} Exec=/usr/bin/${_pico8_bin} MimeType=application/pico8 Icon=${_pico8_bin} Terminal=false Categories=Development;Game" > "${_pico8_desktop}" # Installs the extracted files install -Dm644 "${_pico8_license}" "${pkgdir}/usr/share/licenses/${pkgname}/${_pico8_license}" install -Dm755 "${_pico8_bin}" "${_destdir}/${_pico8_bin}" install -Dm644 "${_pico8_dyn}" "${_destdir}/${_pico8_dyn}" install -Dm644 "${_pico8_dat}" "${_destdir}/${_pico8_dat}" install -Dm644 "${_pico8_txt}" "${_destdir}/${_pico8_txt}" install -Dm644 "${_pico8_mime}" "${_mimedir}/${_pico8_mime}" install -Dm644 "${_pico8_desktop}" "${_appsdir}/${_pico8_desktop}" install -Dm644 "${_pico8_icon}" "${_pixmapsdir}/${_pico8_icon}" # Links the installed binary to /usr/bin ln -s "/usr/share/${_pkgname}/pico8" "${_bindir}/pico8" }

Hi @josefnpat, thanks for the help! I updated pico8-bin to 0.1.8. I did not know that the pkgrel resets on a new version release. It makes a lot of sense. I realised that when I diffed your MAKEPKG with mine. Thanks! You'll find that the MAKEPKG file is not the same as yours for 2 reasons: First, I realised that you forgot to change the i386 sum in the file. Also, a new file was added on the Linux build, pico8_dyn. Thanks for flagging the package and your help!

Here's my SHA256SUMs for 32 and 64 bit: 6e851e40883e03bb94369b9d25bec3e3baa21bc7d18e0063937b5bb19903ce8a pico-8_0.1.8_amd64.zip ea5dedfb078e29f2f2e635708cace383a75a60fb864414b8ee1eb1e2bdcfc041 pico-8_0.1.8_i386.zip And here's my new version of the MAKEPKG: http://pastebin.com/raw/Pc1WmiPV Other than the version change and a pkgrel change, a file was also renamed (pico8.txt to pico-8.txt)

@scottmada thanks so much! 0.1.8 has been released. Here's my SHA256SUM: 6e851e40883e03bb94369b9d25bec3e3baa21bc7d18e0063937b5bb19903ce8a pico-8_0.1.8_amd64.zip

Hi @josefnpat! I'm happy to see that I did not make this package only for myself. And I just updated the package to pico8-bin-0.1.6-2. *.p8 files are now associated with pico8.

Thanks for this! Any chance to get *.p8 files associated with this, or does that conflict?
