Picotron is a fantasy workstation from the creator of the Pico-8 fantasy console (previously at Boing Boing)—an intentionally simple, retro-styled game development environment with a stylishly limited palette, resolution and performance. It's ideal for making "pixelart games, animations, music, demos and other curiosities."
It has a toy operating system designed to be a cosy creative space, but runs on top of Windows, MacOS or Linux. Picotron apps can be made with built-in tools, and shared with other users in a special 256k png cartridge format.
