Hi there;
This is a quick list of programs and other stuff that is very usable for game programming which is offered up free of charge and free of royalties.
If you know a tool or other thing that is handy for game programmers, please don't hesitate to add it to this list. Nothing it hosted here, we only link to stuff.
Please note that some programs may be marked as 'Strong Copyleft'. This means that the license of that tool or product may require you to make the game you create free or to copy the license of the product you chose. The GPL is the most famous example of that. So I really recommend to check the licenses before using the stuff I link to.
GLBasic

GLBasic is a easy to learn, yet powerful, compiled programming language for a large range of devices.
Tricky Staff MemberPosted: Aug 13th 2013 | To clarify, you can use GLBasic freely for Windows, if you desire more platforms you must buy the project. A few features are also unavailble in the free version, but there you can completely make projects in the free version and you don’t have a max period of time to use this, that’s why I allowed this entry in the list. |
Tricky Staff MemberPosted: Jun 13th 2013 | It’s a nice form of Basic....
I’m not exactly happy about its syntax, it’s COMMANDS IN CAPS SETTING and the fact that the editor (and compiler) all require Windows even when compiling for Mac. Its default font is hard to read also.
This is why I never came to purchase the full version, actually. |
