Game Engine of the AI, by the AI, for the AI.

The World's First "AI-First" Minimal Game Engine is Finally Here.

Tired of bloated modern game engines? Sick of feeding AI complex API documentations only to get hallucinated, broken code?

Welcome to TinCLE (Tiny C Lovely Engine).

This isn't an engine built for humans to tinker with. This is a cold, sharp, and hyper-optimized compiler environment designed from the ground up so that Generative AIs can output 100% perfect, compilable game code on their very first try.

🛠️ Why TinCLE? / Why asspack?

In the modern dev scene, game streams are heavily bloated. Massive layers of wrappers, endless multi-megabyte frameworks, and over-complicated logic that melts your AI's context window.

TinCLE shatters this paradigm.

"Why Tincle?"

Because existing game engines are too bloated. They are like a heavy, endless stream. Our framework is so tiny, light, and fast—it’s like a quick tinkle. Just let it out, and you’re done! No waste, just pure relief.

"Why asspack?"

First came Tincle, the light and quick relief for modern bloated development. But what about the heavy, solid assets? That’s where asspack comes in. It seals all your textures, sounds, and data into a single, un-crackable package, preventing any leaking. Tincle handles the fluid code, asspack compresses the solid mass. Together, they complete the ultimate cycle of clean, lightweight execution.

• Fluid Code: Pure C syntax powered by the most universally understood libraries—SDL2 and SDL2_gfx. Every LLM on Earth has ingested these libraries billions of times. The AI already knows exactly how to write it flawlessly.
• Solid Mass: Everything wraps down into a razor-thin, single-executable compilation environment. With our built-in customized asset packer `asspack`, your assets and code fuse together into a beautifully tight, dense, high-performance binary.

🤖 Humans, Stand Aside. Let Your AI Do the Talking.

> "Where is the user manual for humans?"

> There isn't one.

We didn't waste time writing cozy, hand-holding documentation for human brains. If you desperately want to read something, we bundled a raw PDF print of `SKILL.md`—read that if you must.

But the intended way? Just throw `SKILL.md` straight into your AI chatbot (Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude, etc.).

`SKILL.md` is a highly-dense "talent chip" formatted specifically for LLM comprehension. It instantly teaches the AI the strict state-separation rules and precise API constraints of TinCLE.

Don't know how to code? Don't know how the engine works? It doesn't matter. Just give `SKILL.md` to your AI, and ask: "How do I make a retro shooter with this?" The AI will guide you, give you the instructions, and hand you the perfect code.

⚡ The Ultimate 3-Step Workflow

Forget complex IDE setups and hours of dependency troubleshooting.

1. Drop `SKILL.md` into your favorite AI.
2. Receive `game.c` from your AI.
3. Run `tinclec` (our lightning-fast compiler assistant) with TinyCC (TCC).

Boom. Your game is live. Executable generated in less than a second.

📦 What’s Inside the Box?

Everything runs completely offline and local on Windows, keeping your development space hyper-light and independent.

• `tinclec`: The ultimate automated compiler assistant. Just run it, and it builds your executable instantly using TCC.
• `asspack`: Our custom-tailored asset compressor. Tightens your images, sounds, and data into a solid mass.
• `embedres`: Resource embedding tool to bake your assets right into the heart of the binary.
• `SKILL.md` (with PDF option): The AI-native system prompt that turns any generic LLM into a legendary TinCLE Master Developer.
