(Rxi is awesome, see https://rxi.itch.io/ https://rxi.itch.io/)
- cl3misch 6y agorxi indeed is awesome! Do you know in what language/engine his (her?) tools on itch.io are written? They all have an awesome pixelart look to them and I wonder if (s)he uses lua for them too.
- backpropaganda 6y agoIt's Lua. They use Love2D.
- soapdog 6y agoalso, just a sidenote which you might already be aware of, a lot of itch.io used to be written in Lua. Check out Moonscript, A language that is like the coffeescript of Lua (https://moonscript.org https://moonscript.org), and Lapis which is a web framework (https://leafo.net/lapis/ https://leafo.net/lapis/) that can use Lua or Moonscript. Itch.io used to be built with both, I don't know if that remains true today.

- rxi 6y agoThe tools are all written in C and use microui[1] for the UI. The games are typically written in LÖVE with the exception of SCANLINE which uses Nim [1] https://github.com/rxi/microui https://github.com/rxi/microui
