New in v26.0: Full-featured sprite editor, built-in font editor, text rendering, Jump to Symbol & Definition, and Mac support.
Pyxen is a Python game programming studio for iPad and Mac.
Build games, tap Share, and anyone can play them in their browser. Design sprites, create fonts, write code, and debug — all in one app.
Pyxen is designed for beginners and experienced programmers alike. It stays simple on the surface, while offering powerful systems underneath.
INSTANT SHARE
• Tap Share and get a playable link — anyone can play your game in their browser.
• No account needed — just tap, share, done.
• Or export a web archive to host on itch.io or your own site.
Your games live outside the app.
FULL-FEATURED SPRITE EDITOR
• Draw and edit sprites with pixel-perfect tools
• Paint pixel art and see changes instantly in your running game
• Layers, selection tools, clipboard, resize, and move
• Marching ants selection with cut, copy, and paste
• Built-in color palette with eyedropper
Design your game art without leaving the app — and see it live.
BUILT-IN FONT EDITOR
• Create bitmap fonts from system or custom fonts
• Configure character sets, size, and anti-aliasing
• Live atlas preview — see exactly what ships with your game
• Use the Text component to render text in your games
No external tools needed for text rendering.
A SMALL, FOCUSED GAME ENGINE
• High-performance C++ ECS core
• Small, readable architecture you can actually understand
• Clean, beginner-friendly Python API
• Scene graph designed for real games
Built to be learned, not hidden.
CODE EDITOR
• Syntax highlighting and smart indentation
• Jump to Symbol — navigate your project instantly
• Jump to Definition — tap any function to see its source
• Word-wise navigation with Option+Arrow
• Touch-optimized for iPad, keyboard shortcuts on Mac
Write real code, not blocks.
INSPECTION & DEBUGGING
• Rewind time and inspect previous frames
• Explore entities and components live
• Visual tools to understand state and behavior
Learn by seeing, not guessing.
LEARN FROM REAL GAMES

YOUR DATA, ALWAYS YOURS
• Pyxen works 100% offline
• No account required, no ads, no tracking
Projects are regular files, compatible with iCloud and the Files app.
There's no proprietary cloud lock-in, your creations are yours.
FREE TO EVALUATE
Pyxen is free to download and evaluate, with no time limit.
Everything works during evaluation — an evaluation watermark appears on the game preview and exports. A single one-time purchase removes it.
No subscriptions.
NATIVE APP FOR IPAD & MAC
• Touch-optimized on iPad, keyboard-first on Mac
• Keyboard, mouse, trackpad, and gamepad support
• Same project files work seamlessly on both platforms
If you want to learn programming through game development, or ship real projects from your iPad or Mac, Pyxen is built for that.
Quiet, capable, and yours.
