Mini Micro is a desktop application for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It simulates a retro-style home computer, built atop the MiniScript language. It is intended as both an educational environment for beginning programmers, and a game/simulation development environment for more experienced coders. Apart from execution speed, Mini Micro runs identically on all desktop machines, providing a very uniform environment for app development.
Features
In addition to the standard MiniScript language features, Mini Micro comes with an extensive API which includes the following functionality:
- Pixel graphics (32-bit color, 960x640 display)
- Sprite graphics (layering, scaling, rotation, tint, simple collision detection, and scrolling)
- Tile graphics (arbitrary tile size, support for hexagonal layouts, scaling, and scrolling)
- Sound and music (both synthesized in code, and audio files in standard formats)
- Text display (68 by 25 characters)
- File operations, including reading and writing images
- Full keyboard, mouse, and game controller support
