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.
