Hi there!

Straight to the point: quarantine sucks, want to teach kids on coding, dont know where to start, I dont know much Lua plz help.

Someone knows good VERY SIMPLE tutorials/lessons on Pico8/Lua? No collision detection, just simple programming things, like Hello world, if statements, simple employment of variables, logic, etc?

No one?  Cmon... (I know that I'm to blame, I should be working on tutorials myself, but the time is short....)

Guys, I'm actually Keanu Reeves, I'm cool and I'm asking nicely for... anything lecture-able and simple. No need for teaching hit-testing or deeper stuff, just very simple programming stuff.

Hello! This is one of the most followed tutorials: https://mboffin.itch.io/pico-8-top-down-adventure-game-tutorial

The same person also has bite-sized tutorials on their itch page.

I could do a tutorial for it if you are still interested, I haven't used pico for more than a week, but I have been programming for a few years so I could probably give them someplace to start. And if they like it I could continue on with the tutorials, because I actually love creating tutorials :D
