Picking a platform

DUO-8
A downloadable game

First up in my game development journey is to pick a framework & platform.

I really like the idea of working within constraints, and love retro consoles, so I'm going with the PICO-8!

PICO-8's limitations seem a touch scary at first

📺 128x128 screen size
🎨 16 colours
🎮 4 directional + 2 action buttons
💻 Limited CPU
📦 32kb max output size
🔇 Speaker only has 4 channel chip blerps

Hopefully we can make it work like this!
