Do you want to create your own video games? PlayBasic is a programming language specifically designed for building 2D games. With over 25 years of experience in the industry, our goal is to provide a tool that is flexible and easy to use for new programmers, without sacrificing features or breaking the bank.

    One of the key features of PlayBasic is its extensive support for graphical elements. You'll have access to everything you need to create immersive game worlds, including mapping, sprites, image effects, cameras, vector shapes, and more. The sprite engine also includes options for rotation, scaling, flipping, and real-time effects like alpha blending, tinting, and color replacement.

    Collision detection can be a tough part of game development, but PlayBasic has you covered with a variety of methods for both map and sprite collisions. You can use pixel-perfect collision, rectangular collision, circular collision, and more, and even mix and match different methods to fit your needs.

    PlayBasic comes in two editions: a free version and a retail version. Both include a custom code editor, a compiler and runtime, a debugger, extensive built-in help, and over 400 examples to get you started. Plus, we're always open to feedback and suggestions to make PlayBasic as powerful and enjoyable as possible.
