Allows both experienced and inexperienced game developers to create games with graphics and multi-layer parallel scrolling maps. Scrolling Game Development kit features a graphics editor with smoothing and anti-aliased rotation abilities, which is used to edit graphics for tiles and sprites. This program also has a tile matching editor which allows you to define how tiles fit together, simplifying the drawing of coherent maps. The map editor has a built-in maze generator which can create mazes based on tile matching definitions or on a single tile against the background. It supports scripting which allows you to customize how the map and graphics editors work, even without recompiling the program. Scripting can also be used at game runtime to control details of the game play. Paths can be defined in the map editor, and various types of sprites can be defined based on the graphics and the paths contained in the project. Animated tiles are also supported.
