A retro game engine for Python. Thanks to its simple specifications inspired by retro gaming consoles, such as only 16 colors can be displayed and only 4 sounds can be played back at the same time, you can feel free to enjoy making pixel art style games. The motivation for the development of Pyxel is the feedback from users. Please give Pyxel a star on GitHub! Pyxel's specifications and APIs are inspired by PICO-8 and TIC-80. Pyxel is open source and free to use. Let's start making a retro game with Pyxel! Runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Web. Using the Pyxel Web Launcher or custom elements for HTML, you can run Pyxel in a web browser without any installation work. Pyxel supports a dedicated application distribution file format (Pyxel application file) that works across platforms. 8 musics that can combine arbitrary sounds.
