Geckode features
One block does what used to take ten.
Our blocks are made for games. The things every game needs - moving, touching, following with the camera - are single blocks, not homework.
- 9 colour-coded categories with a search box on top
- Blocks only snap where they make sense
- Press play and your game runs right beside your code
Built-in collision detection between sprites
Easy-to-use arrow key movement
Set your camera position
Direction and velocity
Gravity, bouncing and pushing, already working.
Geckode has its own physics engine, built for block games. Turn things on from the sprite panel instead of writing the maths yourself.
