What is this Python project?

Pyxel is a retro game engine similar to Pico-8 and TIC-80.

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.

What's the difference between this Python project and similar ones?

  • Focus on retro game development with built-in specifications to the palette, image banks, sounds, tilemaps etc.
  • Includes a resource editor to edit images, tilemaps, sounds and music.
  • Can create applications for desktop and web.
  • Pyxel has 11000 stars on GitHub. It is the number one game library for Python in the world.

Looks good to me.

Aside: I'm aware that the official description on the repo says "retro" game engine, but it really is just "retro-inspired", since it targets modern platforms (unlike something like GB Studio, for example). But that's something for the developer to consider I suppose.
