Rewtro

Rewtro is a weird retro game engine inspired by fantasy consoles and code golfing that runs games encoded in a very small amount of data (2kB/3kB). This way is possible to share games using exoteric and usually data inefficient ways: i.e. sticking some PWA magic and a QR-Code reader to the engine I've made a fake gaming console for mobile devices... ...that loads games from papercraft game cartridges... All the game data (graphic, sound, music, and code) is encoded into the QR-Codes and no data is stored online - and the same goes for the game console code too, once installed on your device - so scrap the paper cartridge and the game is gone. But hey... you can produce your game cartridges using just a plain printer and you can still pirate games using a copy machine like we used to do with cassette duplicators in the 80s. I hope it will bring back that retro vibes. Rewtro is the open-source project kesiev/rewtro (https://github.com/kesiev/rewtro) by kesiev, released under MIT. Ion packages it unmodified from commit 110ea0273018, adding only a manifest, an icon and a storage compatibility script.
