This looks really nice. It's a shame the name is so similar to an existing app though (Pyxel Edit, https://pyxeledit.com/ https://pyxeledit.com/) My favourite

My favourite 2D framework right now is is LOVE (love2d.org) - I'm using that to build stuff with/for my kids and it's just a joy to use. I'll probably write up some parent/child friendly tutorials at some point. I also like Monkey-2 (http://monkeycoder.co.nz/ http://monkeycoder.co.nz/), but I only really use that when I want to do basic 3D stuff, because Love does the 2D stuff so well...
- potta_coffee 8y agoI'd like to see your thoughts on Love. I've been using it for the past week and so far it's my favorite game-making environment (I've tried a lot of other tools). I like being able to just sit down and code rather then spend hours trying to understand someone's gui with a bunch of tools I probably don't need for my tiny project. Never tried Lua before this and I'm finding it pretty comfy too.
- empyrical 8y agoAlso similar in name to "Pyxl", like React JSX for Python https://github.com/gvanrossum/pyxl3 https://github.com/gvanrossum/pyxl3
- benatkin 8y agoThose are all unmaintained projects. pyxl4/pyxl4 and Dropbox/pyxl haven't been in a long time and pyxl4 says gvanrossum/pyxl3 is unmaintained and while gvanrossum/pyxl3 was updated a month ago, it was just the README. The code hasn't been updated in over two years.
