Comment on SCRIPT-8: An 8 Bit Fantasy Computer Programmed with Javascript

Comments

For those wondering, the biggest differentiator of this from PICO-8 is that this is open-source and PICO-8 is not.

No it's not. TIC-80 is open source and there are other open source fantasy consoles. The killer feature here is the Bret Victor inspired live coding support.

Not to mention JS vs Lua (an unfortunate direction in my view). That said, open source is good. There are a few other open source versions. TIC-80 is another open source option. LIKO-12 as well.
