About
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 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 some technical limitations: 240x136 pixel display, 16 color palette, 256 8x8 color sprites, 4 channel sound, etc. Note: Access to all devices permission required (--device=all) so that gamepads can be used with this Flatpak.
