arcamini is a friendly, lightweight, and multi-language runtime for developing 2D console games.

• 🎓 Easy to learn: About 30 core functions for resource management, drawing, audio, and input.
• 📦 Easy to deploy: Download a precompiled single-file runtime, add your game logic and assets, and you're ready to go.
• 🚀 No artificial limitations: arcamini is not a fantasy console with outdated specs, but a modern framework for rapid console game development.
• 👐 Open source: MIT licensed.

arcamini supports game development in JavaScript, Python, and Lua, with up-to-date language standards and a unified API.

Supports both pixel sprites and scalable vector graphics (SVG) for crisp visuals on any display.

Primarily designed for Linux-based handheld consoles, with console-style input handling. Yet games run equally well on standard PCs.
