Running your game

Pygame-80 uses a command line argument approach to offer an experience as close to TIC-80.

Pygame-80 needs sys.argv[1] to execute code inside the library and save progress in an external file with its own name, so to run a game, the command would be the following:
> python3 pygame80.py yourgame.py

Limitations

• Pygame-80 does not come integrated with editors, so external programs must be used. Some of the recommended free and crossplatform programs for the development of the assets are the following:
  Code: Thonny (Windows, Mac and Linux)
  Tilesets / Spritesheets: GIMP (Windows, Mac and Linux)
  Audio (sfx / music): OpenMPT (Windows. Mac and Linux (using Wine>=1.8)), Audacity (Windows, Mac and Linux)
  Tilemaps: Tiled (Windows, Mac and Linux)
