Pygame-80

A set of functions from TIC-80 tiny computer platform ported to Pygame 2.0.1. Many of them are designed to work with the NumPy library to improve performance and per pixel access.

Some of the highlights of using this library are:

• TIC-80 friendly
• Highly customizable (any screen resolution, different screen modes, any number of audio channels, custom FPS)
• Python as programming language
• Practically no memory restrictions regarding the number of assets that can be used (code size, tilesets, spritesheets, music, sfx, color palette)
• Expandable with the use of modules and libraries
• Support of multiple audio and image formats

Dependencies

pip install pygame
pip install numpy

To run the demo program, you can use Thonny IDE or GNU/Linux shell or Windows shell

• Thonny IDE: Open pygame80.py and press F5 or CTRL+R or CTRL+T
• GNU/Linux shell:~@ python3 /path/pygame80.py
• Windows shell: >python /path/pygame80.py
