TIC‑80 is a free, open‑source “fantasy computer” that bundles a tiny retro‑style game engine with built‑in editors for code, sprites, maps, and sound, letting creators develop, run and share 240×136‑pixel games in multiple scripting languages (Lua, JavaScript, Python, etc.). It targets indie developers and hobbyists who want an all‑in‑one, cross‑platform environment for making and distributing compact retro games.
