There is no need for installation. Download and uncompress S2PEditor.7z and run S2PEditor.exe to launch the desktop application.
A tiny platform game called Monkidd has been created as a demonstration. It has been made from scratch using only S2PEditor. To try it, download and uncompress Monkidd.7z and run game.exe.
You can also try Think before you jump, a micro-platformer with four different endings that I made for Ludum Dare 39. You can find it under ThinkB4YJ.7z.
After running the executable, you will see S2PEditor GUI. You can navigate through the menu bar, the toolbar and the dock windows to create projects, add levels to them, populate these leves with tiles, backgrounds and objects and, finally, export the resulting game. All of this without writing a single code line.
A wide user manual with a tutorial has been written but right now it is available only in Spanish language. It can be found inside ManualUsuario.7z along with the resources needed to complete the tutorial. I plan to write an English version or a GitHub wiki in the future.
S2PEditor and s2Dp have been designed and programmed by Aarón Ojeda.
S2PEditor is a GUI for s2Dp framework, which is a modified and extended version of the framework proposed by Shaun Mitchell in his book SDL Game Development (2013).
