Quick Start
microScript programming
API reference
microStudio is a free game engine online.
Create games, learn programming, play, share, prototype and jam!
Online and integrated
microStudio includes all you need to write code, create sprites and maps for your 2D game.
All from your web browser. Your project is stored in the cloud, accessible from anywhere.
Get into programming
Write your game code in microScript, a simple language inspired by Lua. The documentation is always there to help. Create cool demos in just a few lines of code.
microScript shines by its simplicity and interactivity. But you can also code in JavaScript, Python or Lua if you prefer.
Design
Create pixel art sprites and maps with the included editors.
Using your sprites and maps from code is as easy as 1-2-3.
Adjusting is a breeze
Change anything from your PC while testing your game on your mobile.
Your changes are immediately reflected in your ongoing playing session.
Bring your friends
You can invite others to your project and work in teams.
microStudio automagically synchronizes all your project files in real time.
Get your gear ready
Control your game using the gamepad, touchscreen, keyboard or mouse inputs.
Export your project in a single click to HTML5, Windows, Linux, macOS. More export options are coming!
Join the community
Browse public games, demos, resources. Pick up what you need for your own project.
Contribute your best creations and help others.

Please use the transpiler to run this much faster: https://microstudio.io/this_name_is_taken/voxelraytracer/#transpiler . WASDQE and arrow keys for movement, O for options, H to hide message
Demo of a pretty fast voxel traversal algorithm (basically, an algorithm that traverses a world made of cubes by calculating intersections with the sides of the grid). More on the algorithm and it's source here: https://microstudio.dev/community/resources/list-based-raycasting-resource/239/
About the textures:
(I designed the minecraft-style textures myself using a pallete and the 'enhance' tool in the editor ^-^. Also, please note that the below textures are free for personal and commercial use.)
