A while back I discovered the concept of a fantasy console.

It’s like an imaginary computer that runs on a computer. They generally have artificial limits to encourage creative programming.

The

tic-80

, for example, gives you:

• 240x136 pixels, 16 colours display
• 64KB for program code
• limited ability for sound

You can usually save your creation to a virtual cartridge which you can then upload or share.

They generally have built-in editors to make games/sound/sprites/maps and allow you to export a virtual cartridge to share with others.
