TIC-80: a free and open source fantasy computer for making, playing and sharing tiny games

TIC-80 is a free and open source fantasy computer for making, playing and sharing tiny games.

TIC-80 has built-in tools for development: code, sprites, maps, sound editors and the command line, which allows creating mini retro games.

Games are packaged 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 a common ecosphere: a 240×136 pixel display, 16 color palette, 256 8×8 color sprites, 4 channel sound, and more.

Features

  • Multiple programming languages: LuaMoonscriptJavascriptRubyWrenFennelSquirrelJanet, and Python.
  • Games can have mouse and keyboard as input
  • Games can have up to 4 controllers as input (with up to 8 buttons, each)
  • Built-in editors: for code, sprites, world maps, sound effects and music
  • An additional memory bank: load different assets from your cartridge while your game is executing
  • Moderated community
