Description

Tic80 is an open-source alternative to pico8 that can export to several platforms.
It mostly depends of lua, sdl and some extras, but they normally come bundled to the original repository as submodules.
It builds correctly on x86_64-musl and should build correctly on glibc and most architectures too.

Repository: https://github.com/nesbox/TIC-80

Research direction

Start with the upstream TIC-80 repository linked in the issue and review its Lua, SDL, and bundled submodule dependencies. Check the stated x86_64-musl build first, then assess whether the package can build with glibc and other architectures. Done means a working Void package that builds successfully across the supported targets.
