Solarus is an open-source Zelda-like game engine written in C++. This engine is used by our Zelda fangames. The git repository of Solarus includes two subprojects:
- Solarus: the C++ engine.
- Solarus Quest Editor: an editor for creating quests, written in Java.
- Note: The quest editor needs Java 7.
Solarus and Solarus Quest Editor are both licensed under GPL v3.
