Key Features:
Easy-to-use composer; the visual design tool allows you to create, edit, manage, compile and distribute your projects, from small demo to complex teamwork

Extendable Object Oriented Programming language (MPL); no scripting language, but a real programming language. The class framework contains dozens of ready to use objects: use them, edit them or even create your own!
All source code of the class framework is included; it's written in MPL so extending it is easy

Native Intel Pentium code; the fast compiler transforms your creation into a standalone executable. Experience the power you know from the real programming language instead of the results of the slow and often erratic interpreters.

Integrated debugging facilities and trace; track and solve problems by placing traces. And if necessary, the compiler tells you where your program went wrong.

Advanced video engine; supports the Windows AVI, Apple MOVie and industry standard MPEG formats.

Professional 64 track sound engine; mix MOD, MP2/3, .WAV and a lot of other file formats with fading and 3D effects
Online help; the extensive manuals list all the technical stuff and hands-on information

Full access to Dynamic Link Libraries (DLL)
Small applications, without much overhead; the compiler only binds approx. 400Kbyte to the application

NOW WITH FREE MAGENTADB DATABASE SYSTEM; the MagentaDB is a small and extremely fast database engine for Magenta II; it supports multiple tables in one database, multiple indexes and record sets. The MagentaDB classes provide an easy and object-oriented interface to MPL.

The external MSQL tool imports and manages the database with standard SQL scripts. Performing updates sent for example over the Internet on distributed databases is easy with the built-in update parser.
