NICO Game Framework

NICO is a simple game framework for the Nim programming language inspired by the PICO-8 API.

Paletted Bitmap Graphics (you can load a custom palette up to 256 colors)
Fixed or flexible custom display resolution with pixel scaling
Sprite drawing, load png spritesheets, specify tile size per sheet (can load multiple and switch between them)
Tilemap drawing, import json from Tiled
Drawing primitives: pixels, lines, rectangles, circles, triangles
Input: Keyboard, Gamepad, Mouse, Touch
Sfx playback: load and play ogg vorbis files, configurable number of mixer channels.
Built in chip synth
Music playback: stream ogg vorbis files.
Custom audio callback for generating your own sounds via code.
Text drawing: load and draw fonts from png, supports variable width fonts.
Export animated gifs

You will need to have the Nim compiler installed
Run nimble install nico
Run nicoboot <yourname> <projectname> <directory> to create a new directory with an example base ready to start working with.

Native build:
- You'll need SDL2 for native builds, on Windows, ensure SDL2.dll is copied to your project directory.
- From your project directory run nimble runr to build and run the example as a native build.
- From your project directory run nimble rund to build and run the example as a debug native build.
Web build:
- For web builds you'll need Emscripten.
- From your project directory run nimble webr to build for web in release mode.
- From your project directory run nimble webd to build for web in debug mode.

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 Web, Windows, Linux, Mac, Android, and potentially other platforms.
