==Introduction==

Game Editor opens a new universe of effortless game creation:

Game Editor is an outstanding and unique software product. It is the only multimedia authoring program created that allows a developer or hobbyist to engineer a game once, and then export it to run on multiple operating systems. Game Editor produces software that runs on Windows (95/98/Me/2000/2003/XP/Vista), Pocket PC, Handheld PC, GP2X, Windows Mobile-based Smartphones and Linux!

The program offers a friendly environment for the beginning, for the intermediate and for advanced developer.

* For the beginner, Game Editor can be used to create simple games by applying easy point and click strategies. No programming is required.

* For the intermediate user, the built in scripting functions offer clear cut access via a single mouse click.

* Advanced programmers will also appreciate the raw power and speed. The experienced 'C' Language programmer will discover that the robust Script Editor is the door to the vigorous heart of the 'C' programming language. It allows developers who are already familiar with 'C' to immediately harness the powerful features of the language.
