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.
