TIC-80 TINY COMPUTER - https://tic.computer/

TIC-80 is a FREE and OPEN SOURCE fantasy computer for making, playing and sharing tiny games.

With TIC-80 you get built-in tools for development: code, sprites, maps, sound editors and the command line, which is enough to create a mini retro game.

Games are packeged into a cartridge file, which can be easily distributed. TIC-80 works on all popular platforms. This means your cartridge can be played in any device.

To make a retro styled game, the whole process of creation and execution takes place under some technical limitations: 240x136 pixels display, 16 color palette, 256 8x8 color sprites, 4 channel sound and etc.

• Multiple progamming languages: Lua, Moonscript, Javascript and Wren
• Games can have mouse and keyboard as input
• Games can have up to 4 controllers as input
• Builtin editors: for code, sprites, world maps, sound effects and music
• An aditional memory bank: load different assets from your cartridge while your game is executing

You can download compiled versions for the major operating systems directly from our releases page.

To help supporting the TIC-80 development, we have a PRO Version. This version has a few aditional features and can only be download on our Itch.io page.

For users who can't spend the money, we made it easy to build the pro version from the source code.

• Save/load cartridges in text format, and create your game in any editor you want, also useful for version control systems.
• Even more memory banks: instead of having only 1 memory bank you have 8.
• Export your game only without editors, and then publish it to app stores (WIP).

You can play and share games, tools and music at tic.computer.

The community also hangs and discuss on Discord chat.

You are can contribute by issuing a bug or requesting a new feature on our issues page. Keep in mind when engaging on a discussion to follow our Code of Conduct.
