Show HN: Bitmelo – A free tool that lets you build 8-bit games with JavaScript
- impatient_bacon 7y agoHey y'all I just launched Bitmelo, game editor to build pixel art games with Javascript. You can code, draw tiles and tilemaps, design sound effects, view the documentation, and playtest your game, all without having to break focus by switching applications. It works in your browser, but there's also a windows version available: https://davidbyers.itch.io/bitmelo https://davidbyers.itch.io/bitmelo I built it in react, and you can check out the source code here: https://github.com/byersdz/bitmelo-editor https://github.com/byersdz/bitmelo-editor Bitmelo was born from my desire to have the most friction free game development experience possible. It's heavily inspired by fantasy consoles such as Pico 8 and Tic 80, however while I love the simple nature of their API's I wanted to have a development experience that wasn't constrained by the same limitations as the games you make in them.
