LIKO-12 is an open-source fantasy computer/console for making, playing, and sharing tiny retro-looking games and programs, built with LÖVE (Lua). It ships with a DOS-like operating system called DiskOS featuring command-line tools and visual sprite, map, and code editors. The project is no longer developed or maintained.

Use cases

• open-source alternative to PICO-8

When to choose
