BennuGD

BennuGD is a free, open-source programming language and development environment primarily used for creating 2D games. It is a descendant of Fenix, maintaining many of its original concepts and syntax while introducing new features and improvements. BennuGD is designed to be relatively easy to learn, particularly for those familiar with other BASIC-like languages or game development environments.

BennuGD applications are typically cross-platform compatible, allowing games to be compiled for a variety of operating systems including Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android. This is achieved through the use of a platform-independent runtime.

The language focuses on simplicity and rapid development, offering built-in functions and commands tailored for game creation tasks such as sprite manipulation, collision detection, sound and music playback, and input handling. It supports various image and audio formats, and allows developers to extend its functionality through libraries written in C/C++.

BennuGD is actively developed by a community of volunteers who maintain the engine, provide support, and contribute to its documentation. It's often chosen by independent game developers and hobbyists for its accessibility and versatility in creating a wide range of 2D game genres.
