A miniature programming language for 2D games. Think in game — spawn, push, bounce, explode — and the compiler turns it into a real WebAssembly module that runs right here in your browser.
Limits are the point. No engines, no assets, no boilerplate. 22 roles for what things do — ships fly, coins get collected, bricks break — and 50 sprites for what they look like. The rest is yours.
Games that teach something — math drills, spelling catchers, science quizzes. Built by kids and teachers. Want yours here? Pick the education category when you publish.
One theme, one week, the gallery votes with plays. First theme: "gravity is your enemy".
Best game in 30 lines or fewer. Constraint is the canvas — show us what the language can't do, done anyway.
A whole game using a single object kind. Yes, it's possible. No, we won't tell you how.
Playing is free, forever, no ads. Publishing needs a one-time Creator License — $10 (founder price, later $15). If Arcadia made you smile, donations keep the lights on and fund jam prizes. Sponsors welcome — sponsor a jam, name the trophy.
