Programming 2D games with RPG Maker

With its incredibly user-friendly interface and extensive resource system, RPG Maker welcomes programmers of all ages to engage in 2D game development.

RPG Maker allows students to explore the professional game development process and directly experience the implementation of a game project from ideation to a tangible product. Utilizing the Ruby programming language (which shares similarities of about 80% with Python), RPG Maker helps users familiarize themselves with coding concepts and transition from drag-and-drop thinking to writing code by typing.
