Overview

AGL is a platform-independent engine for 2D game development. All platform-dependent routines (such as graphics, sounds, file input output, windows messaging, and etc) are already implemented in the AGL. You need to create only game logic while developing the game. Games developed with AGL will run on low-end systems including systems without hardware graphics acceleration support (such as i810).

Key features

1. High-level framework. Concentrate on your game instead on thinking about implementation of different game-independent routines.
2. Cross platform library. Create your game once and it will work on any of the supported systems.
3. Many useful classes AGL contains many useful classes, such as graphical user interface widgets, implementation of the different filesystems (for reading files from disk or memory), an so on.
4. Free for non-commercial use. Commercial licenses are also available.
