PixelVision8

Pixel Vision 8's core philosophy is to teach retro game development with streamlined workflows. PV8 is also a platform that standardizes 8-bit fantasy console limitations built on top of the open-source C# game engine based on MonoGame. (by PixelVision8)

  • Getting Started with Pixel Vision 8
    1 project | dev.to | 9 Dec 2022
    Sprites in Power Vision 8 are all 8x8 pixels in size, when your game starts up the file "sprites.png" is loaded and chopped up in to 8x8 images. Each of these images is then loaded into the memory of the sprite chip until it runs out of space. Each sprite is given an index number at load time (starting from 0) and you can use that index to fetch a particular sprite.

    We don't talk enough about how much it "costs" to work on large open-source projects by yourself. I summed up my experiences building Pixel Vision 8 for the past 6 years in "The Dark Side of Supporting an Open-Source Project" on u/hashnode - https://jessefreeman.hashnode.dev/the-dark-side-of-supporting-an-open-source-project

    Space Station 8 is a Micro Platformer created in 72 hours for Ludum Dare 49 based on a game I used to play on my original Macintosh called Spacestation Pheta. Space Station 8 is also heavily inspired by Bitsy and my Fantasy Console, Pixel Vision 8, which I used to create the game.
  • Open Sourcing My Tools For Generating Tutorials From Source Code
    1 project | dev.to | 12 Oct 2021
    I have been working on my game engine, Pixel Vision 8, for the better part of 6 years now. One of the challenges of working on any sizeable open source project is writing all the documentation and tutorials. I've always been fascinated with designing automated build systems, and it occurred to me that I could create a tool to help me streamline this entire process. The idea was straightforward, could I analyze a code file and break it down into individual steps?
