1) Creating a retro video game

TIC-80 is a free and open source fantasy computer for making, playing and sharing tiny games, that can run in smartphones, too. It contains a number of tools, for writing code, sprites, maps, sound editors and a command line, which are enough to create video games.
In this workshop you will build a mini retro game using the Lua programming language.
