picotron is in early alpha -- it doesn't seem to have a sprite editor yet but it does support sprites in a particular format, so I threw together this aseprite exporter.
picotron is out! importing sprites is still a bit tricky, so I built this script to help, along with this picotron cart
this script works great for pico8 too -- I use it often
you'll need Aseprite to use this.

| D={}E={} -- D E tables hold x and y global position values for wind dust particles, there are 129 dust particles in total | |
| K={} -- K L M tables store map data, they are linear with total length of 128x310 it's hard to explain how they are organized | |
| -- since tiles are of isometric shape. however basic address is expression is v+310*u with u/v being cell coordinates | |
| -- K table hold compacted tile information | |
| -- bits 1-4 represent height (value range 0..15), with 0 being water, and 1+ being sand |
