tic80-go-template

This is an unofficial WASM binding template for Go to make TIC-80 Cartridges.

Requirements

As with WASM4, go and tinygo are required to build cartridges. Also, it goes without saying that make and an instance of TIC-80 is also required.

General Usage

The included tic80 package follows the native TIC-80 API as closely as possible, including optional arguments. For functions that have optional arguments, you can either use the defaults by passing nil, like so:

tic80.Print("HELLO WORLD FROM GO!", 65, 84, nil)

Or, you can pass an instance of the corresponding tic80.<APIName>Options, chaining its methods to configure it, like so:

tic80.Spr(1+t%60/30*2, x, y, tic80.NewSpriteOptions().AddTransparentColor(14).SetScale(3).SetSize(2, 2))

Although, it is recommended to avoid creating an option object on the fly as shown above, as it will tax the garbage collector.

Building

• Run make build to just build the WASM code.
• Run make cartridge to build the WASM code and cartridge.
• Run make, make all, or make run to build the WASM code, cartridge, and run the cartridge.
