Hi everybody!

I would like to share with you guys something I've doing the last days.
It's a sort of virtual computer / console thingy inspired by the likes of Petit Computer and Pico-8.

Screenshot


Features

I went for a 16 color c-64 palette and on the resolution side: 160x144 like our beloved GameBoy. This is not final but I will see how it feels during the process Smiley
At the moment it runs Lua on the command line, so it's possible to put sprites (from sprite memory), pixels, print text,
clear the screen, tilemap... There is also an update() function so animations are possible if the whole Lua code is written in one go. An editor screen I guess
is the next feature Smiley

Motivation

Why I am making this? Well, I am having loads of fun building it and I would like to see a solution that blends the two inspirations I mentioned earlier.

I would like to know what you think and what features what you like to see implemented.
Thanks in advance and talk to you soon...
