Show HN: Pyxel – A Python retro game engine with built-in art and sound editors

https://github.com/kitao/pyxel
3•kitao•1h ago
Hi HN, I'm the creator of Pyxel, a free, MIT-licensed retro game engine for Python. I've been developing it since 2018, and it recently passed 18,000 stars on GitHub.

Pyxel includes pixel art, tilemap, sound, and music editors, so you can create a game's visuals and audio as well as write its code in Python. The engine itself is implemented in Rust.

Games run on Windows, macOS, Linux, and the web, as well as supported Linux-based retro handhelds.

You can share a URL to launch a Pyxel game hosted on GitHub directly in a browser. You can also create games entirely in your browser with Pyxel Code Maker, or write chiptunes in Pyxel MML Studio.

See what people have made with Pyxel: https://kitao.github.io/pyxel-user-examples/

Try Code Maker: https://kitao.github.io/pyxel/web/code-maker/

I'm happy to answer questions about the engine and its implementation.

It looks cool. I have two questions.

1) What's your AI policy?

2) How is this different from PyGame?
