Introduction to retrogame programming with Pyxel
Pyxel is a tribute to game consoles of the golden age, like the SNES or the Game Boy Color : large pixels, few colors and minimalistic sounds (on 4 channels).
With such a minimalistic way, you can build games quickly, and they will run smoothly on a dog-slow computer (thanks, Rust), on every OS , even on a web page (with WASM ).
You have to pick a text editor, like VSCode, Sublime Text, or whatever works. You can download them from their webpage, or through an app store.
So, to use it, you must have Python installed, create a project with its own virtual environment (a venv), install the pyxel library with the pip tool.
Pictures are PNG (with transparency). Be careful, video games used to put the zero in the top left corner. You can upload a PNG /GIF /JPG file with a drag and drop in the editor window.
