Pyxen is a Python game programming studio.
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
• Keyboard shortcuts and touch support
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

• Step-by-step guides to learn from
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
• Keyboard, mouse, trackpad, and gamepad support
• Touch support included
If you want to learn programming through game development, or ship real projects, Pyxen is built for that.
Quiet, capable, and yours.
