Fantasy console (similar to PICO8)

• made with C and SDL2
• has python27 binding
• permissive license (MIT)
• very minimal, great starting point for making your own fantasy console

I use gcc and mingw32.
To build the python module:

make gfx

(you will need to edit PYTHON_PATH and PYTHON in Makefile to point to your python installation)

To install in python, use distutils:

python setup.py install

All this does is copy gfx.pyd and SDL .dlls to site-packages.

Then it should work:
helloworld.py

from gfx import *

def __update__():
    color(YELLOW)
    text(0, 0, "Hello World")
    
def __name__ == "__main__":
    init()
    load_spritesheet("assets/spritesheet.bmp")
    mainloop()

The batch file build.bat will automatically build, install and test gfx for you (if you have PYTHON27 in your environment variables)

Drawing methods:

• point
• line
• rect
• rectfill
• circ
• circfill
• text
• sprite
• map

see test.py for python example usage
see mapedit.c for C example usage
(run make mapedit to build the bin\mapedit.exe tool)

Unlike PICO8, gfx uses external asset files of conventional file formats

Currently you can only have one spritesheet, but you can load up to 24 .wav files.
Unusually, the spritesheet has to be 1-bit (black/white)
When drawing, the sprite color is determined by the current color (set with color())
I created my spritesheet with Graphics Gale

there are 8 buttons:
