What is Solar2D?

Solar2D is a versatile game engine that leverages Lua for its development, prioritizing ease of use for iterative design. It began as an open-source initiative based on the well-known Corona SDK, allowing creators to develop applications across various devices such as smartphones, desktops, and smart TVs, all from a unified codebase that supports platforms like iOS, tvOS, Android, Android TV, macOS, Windows, Linux, and HTML5. A key highlight of Solar2D is its instant-update simulator, which lets developers see code changes immediately, along with live builds that enable rapid testing on actual devices through a local network. Furthermore, Solar2D provides an extensive array of plugins to boost its fundamental features, catering to various requirements such as in-app advertising, analytics, and media capabilities. For those looking to tailor their projects even further, Solar2D Native allows for the incorporation of native libraries and APIs written in languages such as C, C++, Objective-C, or Java. Utilizing the powerful Lua scripting language, Solar2D is completely free to use, with no hidden fees or royalties, making it an attractive option for game developers of all levels. This open nature and adaptability encourage a dynamic community of developers who actively participate in enhancing the engine's features and functionalities. The continuous engagement of this community not only supports individual projects but also propels the overall evolution of Solar2D as a leading choice for game development.
