TIC-80 is a free and open source fantasy computer for making, playing
and sharing tiny games.
With TIC-80 you get built-in tools for development: code, sprites, maps,
sound editors and the command line, which is enough to create a mini
retro game.
Games are packaged into a cartridge file, which can be easily
distributed. TIC-80 works on all popular platforms. This means your
cartridge can be played in any device.
To make a retro styled game, the whole process of creation and execution
takes place under some technical limitations: 240x136 pixel display,
16 color palette, 256 8x8 color sprites, 4 channel sound, etc.
===> The following configuration options are available for TIC-80-1.1.2837_3:
PRO=off: Build PRO Version
SDLGPU=on: Support sdl-gpu through graphics/sdl2_gpu
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
emulators/tic-80: return to pool
Upstream has recently updated this project, redoing the entire build
system. It was very time consuming to port on account of having to
unbundle all sorts of dependencies. Having just started a new job,
I don't seem to have the time to do it all over again for the new
build system.
emulators/tic-80: fix build with cmake 4
A new version of TIC-80 seems to be out, but there has not been an
official release yet. Fix the old one as a stop-gap measure.

emulators/tic-80: bump msf-gif bundled dependency to v2.4
Upstream has nuked the repository, removing the v2.2 version of the
package. Switch to v2.4 in the new repository to fix fetching.

emulators/tic-80: unbundle devel/lua-lpeg
This one is needed for the moonscript dependency.
Once moonscript is unbundled, the dependency can be removed entirely.
