TinyEngine – Game Engine for Microcontrollers

TinyEngine - A game engine to turn your ESP32/Arduino into a mini retro game console! This project came to be because I wanted an easy way to make games on an Arduino without reflashing the microcontroller or going through the whole Arduino IDE process. At first I used a Python Engine and realised that was not going to be feasible (2KB SRAM on Arduino is a pain) and no OS, so I decided to make my own lightweight virtual machine with an interpreter that is just dedicated to reading games from an external removable storage device on the fly!
