About
Solar2D is a free, open-source 2D game engine based on Lua, forked from the well-established Corona SDK. It enables developers to build cross-platform games and apps for iOS, Android, desktop, and HTML5 from a single codebase. The engine features a live-update simulator, a rich plugin ecosystem, and the ability to call native C/C++/Obj-C/Java libraries.
Problem
Developers need a fast, cross-platform 2D game engine that minimizes iteration time and eliminates licensing costs.
For
indie game developers and large publishers building 2D games or apps
How it works
Developers write Lua code once and deploy to multiple platforms using Solar2D's simulator, build tools, and extensible plugin system.
