This is a big project I'm working on for years.

2D game engine (inspired by GameMaker8), with its own IDE and scripting language. Everything is written in C#, including the interpreter of the custom language. Latestly, I got a few first contributors, and I publish it here because I really want more people to get involved. I think it's a really cool and fun project to join to. There is some basic documentation, some "good first issues" and there's me who is here to help with any question 🙂

If you know C#, you have to check it: https://github.com/ArcadeMakerSources/ArcadeMaker

Any feedback is welcome 🙃
