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!

We tried to enforce behaviour with all the best practices: rules, skills, docs, self-verification/testing etc. But they rotted faster than a human can maintain them, and using agents directly to maintain them just leads to bloat and more drift.
