What is it?

GDevelop is a no-code game development editor for building 2D, 3D and multiplayer games. Games can target iOS, Android, desktop and the web. Game logic is built with an event-based system and modular behaviors, so creators can assemble gameplay without writing traditional code.

The editor is written in JavaScript with React and Electron, and renders with PixiJS and Three.js over WebGL. The game engine (GDJS) is written in TypeScript and powers the games it exports. Physics runs through WebAssembly builds of Box2D for 2D and Jolt Physics for 3D, and functionality is extended through built-in and community extensions.

The project includes an extension system that supports both no-code and code-based extensions, plus an asset store for templates and asset packs. Games exported with GDevelop are released under the MIT-licensed engine, so the resulting games are not required to be open source.
