## Hunter's comment
Pyxel, is a new python framework to develop retro games. With the simple specs and limitations, you can easily develop pixel-arted cool games with Python3.

It's a cross-platform framework that can work on every operating system. I have experienced a little bit to see what can be done, and I am amazed how simple to hack simple games on this. 

This may be also a good entry point for kids to learn programming.

It uses [GLFW](http://www.glfw.org/) in the backend, which is solid enough to build games.

It's also an [open-source](https://github.com/kitao/pyxel) project, and distributed under MIT license.

## Great hunt @emrebeyler!

This is something nice for the people that want to start game development, or see if this is something you'd love to do. As always, glad to see programming hunts!

Great @emrebeyler hunting to learn how to program games. This can help young developers understand the basics, and take a look at how things are made below the surface of those modern game engines that do it all.

How does it stack up to something like Pygame? When I played around with that it seemed easy enough to program a simple little game in.

Not sure if you're familiar with it, but what advantages does it offer over pygame?

Not really familiar with it. But afaik, pyxel has a limited scope to retro game building while pygame is a more general solution.

I see. Yeah, I've heard of people using Pygame to build simple GUI just because it's very easy to draw objects on screen with it. It's very, very general. 

Totally by the way, just found the game I made back when I was 14 and first learned Python! Crazy stuff - I even knew what objects were, apparently https://gist.github.com/Jestemkioskiem/53bd2968cf5e7e5424ad6b994557dd92 .

Good Hunt emrebeyler. There are many game engines to choose from according to your need. I personally  use Unity 3d and it uses c#. But if you know python and interested in pixel art themed game you can use Pyxel. The tool is limited it seems, but its good for creating small prototypes and test your ideas.

God, what an interesting project. Although we should see how easy it is to develop a game, and what the limits are, how far we can take the project to do something very, very complete. I will certainly follow this closely, and I will keep an eye on it. **Good hunting, compadre.**
