TIC-80 JS

Bundle and run your TIC-80 ES6 JavaScript carts.

Installation

npm i tic80-js --save-dev

Usage

1. Create a JavaScript TIC-80 index.js with ES6:

   // title:  TIC-80 JS Simple Test
   // author: Rob Loach
   // desc:   Small example of using tic80-js
   // script: js
   let t = 0
   let x = 96
   let y = 24
   let world = 'WORLD!'
   export function TIC() {
   	if (btn(0)) y--
   	if (btn(1)) y++
   	if (btn(2)) x--
   	if (btn(3)) x++
   	cls(13)
   	spr(1 + ( (t % 60) / 30 | 0) * 2, x, y, 14, 3, 0, 0, 2, 2)
   	print(`HELLO ${world}`, 84, 84)
   	t++
   }

2. Create a sprites.gif in the same directory that would be used for the game.

3. Build and run the game through TIC-80 JS:

   npx tic80-js index.js
   

4. To export the cart.tic, press escape to load the console, and use save.
