PlayBASIC is a user-friendly 2D game development tool suitable for designers of all levels. With numerous built-in features, it empowers developers to concentrate on crafting exciting games efficiently.
PlayBASIC is a powerful game programming language built around the familiar Easy-To-Use B.A.S.I.C language. Designed specifically for game enthusiasts, PlayBASIC incorporates over 25 years of game programming expertise to deliver a language that offers the same 'sit down and play' experience that older BASIC's had, but with a more modern feature set.
At its core, PlayBASIC is built for game creation and includes a wealth of graphical features, ranging from Mapping to full 2D vector art. Whether you're creating game worlds, sprites, image effects, polygons, or texture mapping, PlayBASIC has all the tools you need to bring your vision to life.
One of the most critical parts of any game creation tool is its sprite engine, and PlayBASIC delivers with support for Rotation, Scaling, Flipping, and various real-time image manipulation effects such as Alpha channels, Filtering, Alpha Blending, and logical masking, just to name a few.
Of course, a game-making tool is virtually useless without a good collision system, and PlayBASIC has you covered here too. With Pixel Perfect Collision, Rect, Rotated Rect, Circular, Polygonal, Sliding, and Sticky Collision modes, PlayBASIC boasts one of the most advanced collision detection systems available. Plus, you can mix vector collision modes with pixel-perfect collision to create the perfect experience.
With PlayBASIC's comprehensive code editor, built-in debug tools, and over 400 examples to get you started, you'll be creating games in no time. And we're always open to feedback, so we can continue to make PlayBASIC as powerful, flexible, and FUN as possible.
If you remember when programming was fun, or you're looking to dive into the world of game development, give PlayBASIC a try! With its easy-to-use interface and robust feature set, you won't be disappointed.
