Handsome Console
A downloadable tool for Android
Handsome Console is a compact 2D game development environment for Android. It consists of a Lua code editor, sprite editor, map editor and a simple Lua API to tie it all together! Now you can make games on your phone whilst on the train back from work, on your break or while half-watching Netflix. Also really good for trying out game ideas quickly.
You can send your creations to your friends, or email them to me (info@audimancy.com) and I'll add them to the import list and everyone will be able to play!
Still a work in progress:
- Need a good upload mechanism that doesn't involve manual processes
- Music/sfx editor in the works
- API improvements based on user feedback
- Implement settings page
- Add colour palettes!
- Maybe add an in-app API reference
Here's the API reference: https://sites.google.com/audimancy.com/projects/game-tools/api-reference?authuse...

Is this still being maintained?
It is. What features do you want?
A music/sfx editor and a way to access the API via the app would be nice.
I'm about half way through implementing a tracker, and I'm hoping to get it finished by the end of the year.
I recently added a basic API for playing sounds:
- You can now play some preloaded samples with `play(note: string)`, where a "note" is of the format: `[note][octave][sample]`.
- Note can be of the set `[a,a#,b,c,c#,d,d#,e,f,f#,g,g#]`, Octave can be 3-7, sample is 1=Sine wave, 2=Square, 3=Saw.
- An example of a valid play call would be `play("d#42") -- play the note d#4 with a square wave`. There is also a special note called "noise" which will play noise: `play("noise")`.
Will there be an option to convert to gb rom?
Good👍 but hard to find error at code in!
Thanks for the feedback! You are right- perhaps I can add some line numbers to the editor and include the line of any compile errors.
I have uploaded a new version (handsome-console-v4.apk) with line numbers and compiler errors- thanks for the suggestion!
Thanks for the response! 👍
Hey, can you remove red-line at bottom Code(edit code mode)? And add some ui on setting to edit font-size?
Thanks! 👍
Sorry, only one request per customer.
Nah joking, sure I'll look into it 👍
Malware?
Hello, is there a place where people share their games? It could be good to show examples or just to demonstrate the power and usefulness of the software...
Inside the app there is an "Import" button, which has various community made games. If you click the "Export" button and email me your game (info@audimancy.com) I will add it to this community list for other people to play :)
I was testing it and it is really impressive. I have a question though, I know you have plans on developing a music/sfx editor, but is there a way to add simple one-note sounds as it is? And in case the answer is no, do you have plans on releasing the code so we can give a try modding it in the meantime?
I really like the interface, while I get the appeal of simulating the home computer CLI vibe many fantasy console go to, I like how this feels more like the emulators of more "modern" consoles.
Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you are enjoying it! I think this makes for a much better mobile experience than a home computer cli type interface would.
I don't have any of the sound API exposed currently, and I haven't really thought much about open-sourcing the project.
I have a basic sample player that I've been working on which I should be able to release in advance of the music sequencer, hopefully I can finish that this week!
Hello !
Is there a build for ios?
Hello! Unfortunately there is not- Apple has a lot of hoops and I'm not sure I could get this kind of app approved :/
The Fantasy Consoles Discord server is back!
As of now, we have dedicated channels for: (34) Fantasy Consoles (17) Fantasy Computers (13) Engines and (6) Game Creation Systems.

Awesome, thank you!
:)
I cant install the app
Oh no! Thanks for letting me know.
Can you please tell me which version of Android you have?
Can you also please try the following steps:
Please let me know if this works or not!
no , same screen , the version is android 6.0.1 , i read something about zipsigner but i dont wanna try that until be sure about the problem, sorry for my bad english.
I have uploaded a new version, please try downloading and installing again and let me know how it goes!
If it still doesn't work, you can try signing the app yourself with apksigner from the Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.haibison.apksigner&hl=en_AU
its working now <3 thanks , any chance to have a pc version?
Awesome! I'm so relieved! I only have the android version at the moment- I'll make a web browser version if enough people are interested. Let me know if you need help with anything else :D
