When I started my fork, I just took a term "remix" often used in this community to create LowResR(e)M(i)X.
But I was never happy with this name, and I would like to hear what you guys can come up with, and I will do the same.

– LowResN2X
Also, i think .n2x makes a nice file extension.

Maybe even something very different, it‘s not a successor, but has its own purpose.

@Pablo: Cute, but extensions won't be a thing in my fork.
Maybe I should clarify a bit. My fork will exclusively target mobile devices. I want an app for developing games on the go, using touch as the control input, in a fullscreen portrait orientation.
@Timo: I was thinking along these lines too.
I checked other coding apps I have on iOS, and I struggle to find them on the store unless I search for the exact app name. Codea, Pythonista, Continuous, Processing, HyperPad, and even LowResNX are all difficult to find.
So I was thinking of adding some terms I often use when I'm searching for a new app. I came up with:
1. retro game creator
2. mobile game dev
What do you think? Do you have other ideas like that?
Does the description have enough power to help people find the app?
@Timo, I thought you made apps for a living. What is your experience in this subject?

I apologize that i failed to respect the original LowRes NX with my response, i'm grateful for this space to share.
I understand that there are more things to consider than just software licenses.
I'm sure the "R(e)M(i)X" is intended to show appreciation. So, what about "RMXCoDe" or something alike?

@pablo, don’t worry, there is no problem with your comment, I just wanted to share my idea :)

@Pablo I'm using your idea and add mine on top of it. What about `Remix Coder`?

By the way, for “LowRes Coder” I looked for a name for the app. For “LowRes NX” I wanted a name for the console itself. Officially the app is even called “LowRes NX Coder” but that is too long to show below the app icon, so nobody knows it…
if you want to call it “Remix” because it’s a remix of LowRes NX, keep in mind that almost nobody in the world will know the connection. People will think it’s something to code remixes (music??).
I would recommend a name which stands for itself. I already spent my ideas for this though ;)
Timo 2025-08-30 20:57
In any case, I don’t mind if the name is similar to LowRes/NX/Coder, I just want to help to find something better :)
(By the way, yes, I’m a fulltime app developer, but for a company. I never made any significant money with my personal projects)

I like this place :)

Maybe moechofeNX or LowResRNX (Remix N X) :3
