Picking a platform


First up in my game development journey is to pick a framework & platform.

I really like the idea of working within constraints, and love retro consoles, so I'm going with the PICO-8!

PICO-8's limitations seem a touch scary at first

๐Ÿ“บ 128x128 screen size
๐ŸŽจ 16 colours
๐ŸŽฎ 4 directional + 2 action buttons
๐Ÿ’ป Limited CPU
๐Ÿ“ฆ 32kb max output size
๐Ÿ”‡ Speaker only has 4 channel chip blerps

Hopefully we can make it work like this!
