SGDK2 (short for Scrolling Game Development Kit 2) is a tool for developing games without requiring any programming knowledge. Although it includes a code editor, knowing how to code is not necessary for creating games that aren't too complex.
Documentation and sample projects
When you first open the application, it asks if you want to display the documentation. We strongly advise reading through it, as it can greatly facilitate your game development process and help you get to know all the app's features.
Besides the documentation, sample projects are available when creating a new project. Sample projects, along with fully functional games, graphics, and templates, can also be found online by browsing the projects page on the developer's website.An intuitively organized workspace
SGDK2 features an intuitively organized interface, with everything regarding the current project accessible from the project tree. Here, you can find and create elements like Graphic Sheets, Maps, and Tilesets, as well as view and edit the source code for the entire project.
The project's source code is written in C# and can be freely edited, extended, and compiled to generate an executable game file. Projects can even be exported to HTML5, enabling you to create games playable on any web browser or mobile device.A flexible engine for all skill levels
If you are ready to unleash your inner child and create a simple game, or if you are a professional designer looking to build an old-school title, SGDK2 provides the tools you need to achieve just that.
