Every game here
started as a sentence.
Describe something you want to play. The console writes it, plays it through to check that it actually works, and cuts you a cartridge. No engine, no editor, nobody else’s roadmap.

Your sentence becomes a spec: what you control, what ends the run, how you win.

Cuts the cart
Code, written against the console's forty calls. Nothing else is allowed in.

Plays it
A bot runs the cart for thousands of frames. Crashes or dead ends send it back.

Ships two
Two takes on the same sentence land together. Keep whichever one you like.
Preview build: the generation pipeline above isn’t wired up yet. Every game in the library is real and playable, but a prompt you write today returns hand-picked library carts on a staged timer rather than a freshly generated one — we’re testing whether the creating, waiting and choosing feel right first.

The point of all this
It’s a handheld that
writes its own games.
Everything above runs on a fixed forty-call machine, which is small enough to also run on a cheap screen with a d-pad in your pocket. Hold the button, say what you want, put it away. It has finished by the time you take it out again.
Console mode is the handheld’s real interface, running in your browser. Arrow keys and Z work. So does a gamepad.
- Screen480 x 270, sixteen colours from a seeded palette
- Controlsd-pad, A, B — that is the entire surface
- A cartone text file: the rules, the shapes, the sounds
- Soundsynthesised on the machine, never shipped as audio
- Offlinecarts sync over wifi, then play with the radio off
