# Install and configure TIC-80, a tiny fantasy computer for creating, playing, and sharing games. This script downloads the latest version of TIC-80, installs its dependencies, and configures it for use.
# Dependencies: Ensures required libraries (libgl1, libpulse0, libx11-6) are installed.
# Download and Extract: Downloads the latest TIC-80 release as a zip file and extracts it to /opt/tic80.
# Symbolic Link: Creates a symbolic link in /usr/local/bin for global accessibility.
# Cleanup: Removes the downloaded zip file after extraction.
# Verification: Checks if TIC-80 was installed successfully by running tic80 --version.
# Desktop Shortcut: Optionally creates a .desktop file for launching TIC-80 from the system menu.

# TIC-80 provides a virtual environment where users can create, play, and share retro-style games using a built-in IDE that includes a code editor, sprite editor, map editor, and sound/music tools. The graphical interface is integral to its functionality, as it's designed to simulate a fantasy retro computer.
# Users interact with its tools and games visually, making it well-suited for both game development and gameplay.
