Mini Micro

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 rotation)
