Frequently Asked Questions
What is Yop2D?
Yop2D is a 2D game engine exclusive to Android. It allows anyone to create a complete video game through a visual interface (Blueprint), without any programming knowledge.
How much does Yop2D cost?
Yop2D is 100% free! You can create, build, and export your games without any hidden fees or subscriptions.
Do I need a PC or an internet connection to create games?
No! Yop2D is designed to be fully autonomous. You can build, test, and export your game entirely on an Android tablet or smartphone, 100% offline.
I can't remember Java syntax, is that a problem?
Not at all. While the games you export are built natively in Java, the engine replaces traditional coding with highly descriptive, verbose visual nodes. It's perfectly suited for beginners, kids, or anyone who struggles with raw code syntax.
Can I make 3D games with Yop2D?
No, Yop2D is strictly optimized for 2D game development to provide the best possible performance, accessibility, and simplicity on mobile devices.
Can I write text scripts for my game logic?
Text scripts in Yop2D are exclusively used for managing dialogue lists and translations. All interactive game mechanics and logic must be handled visually through the Blueprint node system.
How do I share my game once it's finished?
The engine compiles your project and generates a true standalone APK file that you can share with friends or publish on app stores, all directly from your device.
