NICO Game Framework

NICO is a simple game framework for the Nim programming language inspired by the PICO-8 API and built on top of SDL2.

What it does:

16 Color Bitmap Graphics (you can load a custom palette)
Fixed or flexible custom display resolution with pixel scaling
Sprite drawing, load png spritesheets (can load multiple and switch between them)
Tilemap drawing, import json from Tiled
Drawing primitives: pixels, lines, rectangles, circles, triangles
Input: Keyboard, Gamepad, Mouse
Sfx playback: load and play oggs, configurable number of mixer channels.
Music playback: load and play one streaming ogg at a time
Text drawing: load and draw fonts from png, supports variable width fonts.
Export animated gifs

You will need to have the Nim compiler installed, as well as a working C compiler
Run nimble install nico
You can now import nico in your project, see the examples.

It's fun and easy to use
Learn Nim the fun way! It's a great new statically typed programming language that compiles to C.
You can build for Windows, Linux, Mac, Android, and potentially other platforms.
Should I use NICO instead of PICO-8?
Unlikely, if you're trying to decide between them, go with PICO-8. If you've been using PICO-8 and making games with it and want to rewrite them in a new language or extend them in ways that PICO-8 can't, maybe consider NICO, although there are other options too.
