[NEW] Mini Micro, a fun new game dev environment
Posted: 22 Jun 2019, 22:55
I'm excited to announce the very first public release of Mini Micro as a stand-alone Mac and Windows app! Grab it here:
https://miniscript.org/MiniMicro/
What is Mini Micro, you ask? It's a free, neo-retro, virtual home computer that's very easy to learn and fun to use. It's built around MiniScript, a new open-source language designed from the ground up to be simple, elegant, and easy to learn — yet with seamless integration of modern features, like object-oriented programming. With Mini Micro you will have a blast making your own games and sharing them with others. Here, for example, is a game I made yesterday in a little over an hour.
(If you're on a desktop or laptop, click here to try it right in your web browser!)
This is Mini Micro version 0.1. It does not yet have support for sounds or tile maps, but text, pixel graphics, and sprites are all working fine! See the development roadmap for details. And be sure to grab the Mini Micro Cheat Sheet, which gives you everything you need to know about Mini Micro and MiniScript itself in only two pages!
I'm eager to help anyone learn to code with Mini Micro, and I welcome any feedback. Thanks for giving it a try!
