About

Plasmacore is a professional cross-platform 2D game programming framework.  It is ideal for creating casual games and independent games.

Plasmacore is not a construction kit or an engine - it requires proficiency in high-level object-oriented programming.  What it provides is incredibly easy and intuitive graphics loading and drawing, sound loading and playing, and input processing - with a smooth, robust, and hassle-free architecture to back it up.

Plasmacore games are written in Slag , a language which mirrors the ergonomic philosophy of Plasmacore.  Slag includes all the benefits of languages like Java and C# while being lighter, more portable, and easier to work with.

The full version of Plasmacore is available for download below.  It may be freely used for non-commercial purposes.  Commercial licenses require a one-time license fee (see License , below).

The Windows version is already available and a Mac version is coming soon.  Any games written on one of the platforms will run on all of them!
