PROTOTYPING

Introduction

Tool: TIC 80 /// Fantasy console /// [1]
TIC-80 is a tiny computer which you can use to make, play, and share tiny games. Built-in development tools include code, sprite, map and sound editors which along with the command line tools, provide everything you need to create a mini retro game. Once your game is finished you can export it to a cartridge file, which can be stored and uploaded to the TIC-80 website. Alternatively, it can be packed into a stand-alone player that works on all popular platforms and can be distributed as you wish. To make a retro styled game, the whole process of creation takes place under some technical limitations: 240x136 pixels display, a 16 color palette, 256 8x8 color sprites, 4 channel sound, etc.
