What it is

A tool that generates C code based on the modules selected, and that can import sprites and sounds into the game.

It can also build the game, as well as run it on an emulator (you can configure which).

What it is NOT

Unity or UE4, where you can create the game using another language. It also (for now) does not have a way to create nodes nor supports ECS directly (but you can add those yourself if you want).

Also Libdragon still has no support for 3D (but should have soon), so that is also not provided natively (but you can import 3D assets).

How to use it

Refer to this project's wiki for more information (under construction).
