# About
TIC-80 is a **FREE** and **OPEN SOURCE** fantasy computer for making, playing and sharing tiny games.
This is the official issues tracker of <https://tic.computer>. If you are experiencing a bug or would like to see a new feature [browse existing issues](https://github.com/nesbox/tic.computer/issues) or [create a new one](https://github.com/nesbox/tic.computer/issues/new).
With TIC-80 you get built-in tools for development: code, sprites, maps, sound editors and the command line, which is enough to create a mini retro game.
Documentation is available in the [wiki](https://github.com/nesbox/tic.computer/wiki).
Games are packeged into a cartridge file, which can be easily distributed. TIC-80 works on all popular platforms. This means your cartridge can be played in any device.
Thanks!
To make a retro styled game, the whole process of creation and execution takes place under some technical limitations: 240x136 pixels display, 16 color palette, 256 8x8 color sprites, 4 channel sound and etc.
