Okay, it's out.
Lena is a handmade framework for making tiny games with palette graphics.
It's software-rendered, cross-platform and comes with constraints that challenge your creativity without limiting your game's size and scope. It comes with batteries-included palette graphics, some novel palette-blending and drawing effects, a simple audio interface, text rendering, and loaders and decoders for assets. It also compiles and runs on:
Windows (Native)
macOS (Native)
Linux (via SDL3)
WebAssembly (Native)
The core functionality of Lena is implemented from scratch in almost exactly 2,000 lines of Odin, and while I designed it as a fun little game jam framework for myself, I hope it can also serve as an interesting learning tool for people looking to delve deeper into low-level system and engine programming for video games.

I'm releasing this as a version v0.0.0 on GitHub right now, with the hope of getting some feedback before declaring a truly API-stable 1.0.0 release.

*Game developers*, how do you build your games?
Fiend Finder is a #NativeApp #FOSS clone of Mamono Sweeper using the Gypsy #GameEngine.
As a bonus it plays classic #MineSweeper as well!
Alpha versions for Linux and Windows are available on the #Codeberg Releases page.

The Gypsy project began as the basis for the next version of #xu4, but now I'm working on making it a general purpose engine for smaller games.
It was not an April's Fools! It's real! 
Here is the blog article, with a link to the full changelog for the 2.0 release!
Have fun making games!
