What is Gideros?

Gideros is a free and open-source framework tailored for cross-platform game development, enabling developers to create high-performance 2D games utilizing the Lua programming language. It simplifies the testing process on real devices through Wi-Fi, eliminating the lengthy procedures associated with exporting or deploying apps. Built on C/C++ and OpenGL, Gideros ensures that games run at native speeds, effectively leveraging the power of both CPUs and GPUs. The framework is extensible through plugins, allowing developers to incorporate existing code in C, C++, Java, or Objective-C, which can be seamlessly integrated with Lua. Featuring its own class system that adheres to standard object-oriented programming principles, Gideros encourages the development of clean, modular, and reusable code. The comprehensive development environment includes a lightweight IDE, players for desktops and devices, along with tools for texture packing and font creation. Gideros supports multiple platforms, including Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and HTML5, thus offering developers the opportunity to reach a wide audience. This adaptability makes Gideros particularly attractive for indie developers and small studios eager to create captivating gaming experiences, while its user-friendly features further enhance productivity and efficiency in game development.
