hi! bitsy is a little editor for little games or worlds.
the goal is to make it easy to make games where you
can walk around and talk to people and be somewhere.
if you need inspiration, you can
play other bitsy games
on
itch.io, which is a great place to share games!
have fun making things with bitsy!

instructions
you can draw things in the
paint panel, then place
them in your world in the
room panel. you can write
dialog for your characters (aka sprites) too. you can
also animate your drawings if you want to!
some words:
* room - a place in your game world
* avatar - the player's character
* tile - a piece of the scenery
* sprite - interactive characters or things
to try your game, switch the room to play mode:
* walk around with the arrow keys
* talk to sprites by walking up to them
you can make multiple rooms, but make sure you add
some
exits to connect them to each other!
use "share game" to download the game as an html file.
you can email the file to a friend, or host it online!
if you want to talk about bitsy, report a bug, or share
a game you made, i'm on twitter

or you can post in the
community forum
