MotC is a tool for creating retro games, packaged as a Visual Studio Code extension.
It features:
- A simple C-like language, with automatic garbage collection.
- Intellisense.
- Symbolic debugging.
- A 320x240 graphics mode using an index colour palette. (Resolution can be increased if desired.)
- Sound and streaming music playback.
- Keyboard, mouse and gamepad input.
- Exporters for:
- Windows
- Linux
- Web (with touch screen controller emulation for mobile devices)
- Documentation and examples
MotC is designed to be an easy to pickup environment for creating 2D games. Everything is built-in, there are no extra libraries to download and configure, just install the extension and go. The code compiles quickly in memory to a byte-code format allowing for quick iteration and experimentation, with full symbolic debugger support, so you can see exactly what your code is doing.
See Whiplash Taxi Co for an example game that was created with MotC.
