Description

Buildbox makes game creation incredibly easy and accessible, requiring no programming skills whatsoever. You can kick off your project by selecting from a variety of templates, Smart Assets™, or Brainboxes™. Once you have your concept, you can see your game come to life in real-time. If you're feeling adventurous, you also have the option to design a game entirely from scratch—your creativity is the only boundary. Buildbox 3 represents the pinnacle of our game development tools, allowing users to craft both 3D and 2D games without coding, utilizing no-code Smart Assets™ and Brainboxes™, along with advanced low-code features. For those who prefer a more traditional approach, Buildbox Classic offers a straightforward drag-and-drop interface, enabling users to rapidly prototype and build 2D games using just templates without any coding. At Buildbox, we’re committed to making game development accessible to everyone, empowering creators like you to transform their visions into reality. We firmly believe that every individual should have the chance to express their ideas through gaming. With just imagination as your tool, the possibilities are limitless, and this is only the beginning of our journey together!

Description

Gideros is an open-source and free framework designed for cross-platform game development, allowing developers to craft high-performance 2D games using the Lua programming language. It streamlines the testing process on actual devices via Wi-Fi, removing the need for time-consuming export or deployment steps. Constructed with C/C++ and OpenGL, Gideros guarantees that games operate at native speeds, maximizing the potential of both CPUs and GPUs. The framework is easily extensible through plugins, which enable developers to incorporate pre-existing code written in C, C++, Java, or Objective-C, and connect it to Lua seamlessly. Gideros features its own class system aligned with standard object-oriented programming conventions, promoting clean, modular, and reusable code. The all-encompassing development environment consists of a lightweight IDE, players compatible with desktops and devices, as well as tools for texture packing and font creation. Gideros is compatible with various platforms, such as Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and HTML5, ensuring that developers can reach a broad audience with their games. This versatility makes Gideros an appealing choice for indie developers and small studios aiming to produce engaging gaming experiences.
