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.
