PQ93 is a fantasy console written in modern C++ (previously in C). it uses Gameboy resolution (160x144), the arne16 color palette, and MoonScript. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Ubuntu.
Included in pq93 is a command shell and editors for code, sprites, sound effects, music patterns, and maps. You can edit your game cartridges in any external text editor you like, and you can import and export sprite sheets via command.
The delightful code editor font is the lovely monogram by vini. :)
