Keep in mind 1) I'm not an artist, I'm more inclined to programming and 2) I've been busy with the language/engine itself, so the examples only scratch the surface of what you can do, but here are some screenshots:

There is also a CLI version included without the game library. I haven't quite figured out how to monetize it properly but one of the posts on my site is important to me, something my Gram said about not working for free. And this project has really captured my interest so I want to keep working on it. So the license right now requires $30 USD for a lifetime license if you want to use it commercially or redistribute the interpreter, but it's free for personal use.
The backend engine should be very fast, the language is still young but fairly speedy for the most part. It took quite a hit recently when I allowed any type in expressions instead of only numbers. Before that it was blowing Python away, now not as much.
The link to download it is: https://cmykilluminati.net/downloads/
There is also a map editor on the download page. BooBoo supports drawing and other operations like pathfinding on those maps.

And I believe that is amazing what you are doing!

Not any particular person but the games I see coming from it are Atari/NES/SNES type stuff.
It comes with several games, they're fairly simple though. There's a lot of other non-game examples as well.
I haven't had time nor decent art to make a full-fledged game yet, other than a couple Atari-style games with highscores and stuff.
No! That's a good idea.
Thanks! First of all I didn't like how Lua interfaces with C/C++, I find it very tedious to use. And I was looking to integrate a scripting language into my engine. So I created BooBoo for that, it is just build as a library so it can be used from any C++ program. Second to needing a scripting language, I always wanted something to create animations and mockups, little things like that, so I made a little game library that uses my engine and the scripting language.
