Pygame-80

A set of functions from TIC-80 tiny computer 0.90.1723 platform ported to Pygame 2. Many of them are designed to work with the NumPy library to improve performance, per pixel access and CSV files 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 the main 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

pygame-ce>=2.4.0
numpy

• resizable window
• visible border color for non-integer scale window sizes
• sfx note parameter
