ChaiGame

Framework to make 2D games with ChaiScript and libretro/RetroArch.

Usage

ChaiGame is roughly inspired by the LÖVE API. The following main.chai is a Hello World sample application:

def draw() {
    graphics.print("Hello World!", 400, 300)
}

To run it, execute the following:

retroarch -L chaigame_libretro.so main.chai

Development

Building ChaiGame takes some time, so have patience. Use the following command to compile the core:

make

Testing

• HAVE_CHAISCRIPT=0 Remove the scripting environment for fast compilation
• HAVE_TESTS=1 Enables test/Test.cpp for testing
