ChaiLove is an awesome framework you can use to make 2D games in ChaiScript. It's free, open-source, and works on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Android, and ARM through libretro/RetroArch.
ChaiLove is a libretro core, which can be run through RetroArch. Floppy Bird is a free game you can download and play…
Alternatively, you can run the ChaiLove core through RetroArch via the command line:
https://buildbot.libretro.com/assets/cores/ChaiLove/Floppy%20Bird.chailove
oarch -L chailove_libretro.so Floppy\ Bird.chailove
The ChaiLove API is roughly inspired by the LÖVE API. The following main.chai is a simple Hello World example:
al logo
al x = 10.0f
load() {
logo = love.graphics.newImage("logo.png")
draw() {
love.graphics.print("Hello World!", 400, 300)
love.graphics.draw(logo, x, 100)
update(dt) {
x = x + 20.0f * dt
To run it, execute the following:
oarch -L chailove_libretro.so main.chai
Behind ChaiLove, there's the documentation, compiling it, along with testing.
Use the following command to compile the core, with at least g++ >=5.2:
Run the automated tests by executing:
test
Run the usability tests with:
oarch -L chailove_libretro.so test/main.chai
Visit the ChaiLove API documentation. Build it through Doxygen by using:

ChaiLove uses Gitflow where new features are merged to dev, and then a periodic release is made to the master branch. Releases use Semantic Versioning to ensure version compatibility.
