Solar2D
Awesome 2D game engine based on Lua for easy, fast iterations
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.
Developers write Lua code once and deploy to multiple platforms using Solar2D's simulator, build tools, and extensible plugin system.
