To download a game from itch.io (on TIC-80 site, just use download button):

* Press Esc
* Exit to TIC-80 (or equivalent option)
* {{save game.tic}}
* {{get game.tic}}

To edit the game locally:

* Open TIC-80 console.
* {{folder}}
* Put game in this folder.
* {{load <cartname>}}
* {{edit}} or press F1
* May want to copy this code into a better IDE.
* The main function is {{TIC()}}. Inside this function there will probably be screen drawing functions/code.
* Edit code, Esc, {{run}}

If the game exceeds the 64K limit, alternatively:

* Open TIC-80 console.
* {{folder}}
* Put game in this folder.
* {{load <cartname>}}
* {{save <newcartname>}}
* Edit and save the new {{.tic}} in a text editor. The end of the file will be plain lua code.
