# ELMO-8
## A Simple Game Library Inspired by the Excellent PICO-8
The goal of the library is to offer a small, simple game development environment which aspires to be as charming as [PICO-8](http://www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.php).
There are deliberate limitations to keep things simpler and to encourage the 8-bit aesthetic.
Aspirational specs:
- Display: 128x128 16 colours
- Sprites: 128 8x8 sprites
- Map: 128x32 cels
- Controls: 2 6-button joysticks
## Goals
- Be a nice little playground
- Be a simple teaching tool
- Be a nice way to write small games
## Using
Install from http://package.elm-lang.org/packages/micktwomey/elmo-8/latest
1. `elm package install micktwomey/elmo-8`
2. Edit Hello.elm
3. Download [examples/birdwatching.png](examples/birdwatching.png)
3. `elm reactor`
4. Go to http://localhost:8000/Hello.elm
Hello.elm:
```elm
import Elmo8.Console as Console
import Elmo8.Pico8 as Pico8
type alias Model = {}
draw : Model -> List Console.Command
draw model =
[ Console.putPixel 10 10 Pico8.peach
, Console.print "Hello World" 10 50 Pico8.orange
, Console.sprite 0 60 90
]
update : Model -> Model
update model = model
main : Program Never
main =
Console.boot
{ draw = draw
, init = {}
, update = update
, spritesUri = "birdwatching.png"
}
```
The result should look like this:
## Examples
