I am making a Pyxel gui-based harness with mini-swe-agent

A developer is building a Pyxel-based GUI harness with mini-swe-agent, which allows AI to generate code and see it rendered on screen, with live sprite editing as a key feature. The project is praised for its retro aesthetic and focus on the feedback loop between generation and tweaking.

Love this, the Logo comparison really lands, that immediacy of seeing your code become something visual on screen is exactly what made it magical for so many people. Building it on Pyxel is a great fit too, the constrained retro aesthetic keeps it playful and the palette limits actually help focus the AI’s output. The live sprite-editing-in-harness idea is the killer feature, closing that loop between generate and tweak is where it gets genuinely fun. Smart to sort licensing and check for pasted code before publishing. Definitely interested in the repo when it’s up. What’s the agent loop using for its feedback, does it see the rendered canvas back?
