Guys, this branch is used for porting neko8 to c++. It is not stable or usable yet, we will announce, when it will be.

neko8

Neko8 is a fantasy console, inspired by pico8, liko12 and tic80. It is open-source and fully free. Its goal is to be a fun and useful tool for game development and especially for game jams.

Currently it features:

• Pico8-like api
• Code editor
• Sprite editor
• Map editor prototype
• Terminal
• Build-in API docs
• Support for both lua and asm programming (planning add BASIC support)
• Some easter eggs ;)

Our developers can be found on discord.

Installing ang running

Download and extract the source. In the root folder run:

love .

You will need löve2d 0.10.2 to run neko8. Löve2d version is really important!
