• Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, Kotlin, Swift, Objective-C, C#, C++, Golang, Rust, PHP, Ruby, Clojure, Delphi, 1C and SQL. The construct is on the tip of your tongue, but the exact syntax slips away: • How do you sort an array with the language's own tools? • How do you run a task on a background thread? • How do you insert a substring at the right place in a string? The app answers with a ready-made example, and all that is left is to adjust it to your task. • Over 6500 ready-to-use examples (snippets): strings, arrays, collections, files, networking, multithreading, design patterns. • SQL in a section of its own: JOIN, GROUP BY, ORDER BY, subqueries, data types, over 200 examples with a practice database. • Run examples and see the result right in the app: most examples and every SQL query are runnable. Running requires an internet connection. • Add your own examples and keep a personal code library in the app. • Prepare for interviews and exams on examples you can trust. • Examples are selected from professional literature and specialist resources, and every one of them has been verified by running it. • All content works offline. Made by a developer for developers.

Unleash your creativity and dive into the world of game development with Love2D Game Maker – the ultimate app for creating 2D games on iOS! Love2D Game Maker harnesses the power of Love2D, a popular game development framework, to bring you an intuitive and versatile game creation experience right on your phone or pad. ***Difference between this app with Love2D Studio, and the official app (currently unavailable on App Store and other store)?*** Love2D Game Maker integrates a modified version of the Love2D framework to support windowed mode on both iOS and other mobile platforms. ◉The official Love2D for iOS and other mobile platform only supports fullscreen mode. When running Love2D games designed for Mac, PC, Linux, Steam Deck, Switch, or other game consoles, they are typically optimized for resolutions like 1440x900, 1024x768, or 800x600—standard desktop monitor sizes. These resolutions are not mobile-friendly. On mobile devices, the game graphics are scaled to match the screen size, often distorting the aspect ratio. To address this, I modified the Love2D framework to support any resolution while preserving the aspect ratio. For instance, if your game is designed to run at 1920x1080, Love2D Game Maker creates a window with that resolution, scales it to fit the mobile screen, and ensures the aspect ratio is maintained. Additionally, it supports dragging the game window (like on Mac, PC, or Linux) and landscape mode to maximize the use of the mobile screen. ◉ Virtual Joystick(Gamepad) ◉ Powerful Code Editor: Love2D Game Maker includes an advanced code editor, allowing you to write or modify the Lua source code for your games. ◉ Learning Resources: Love2D Game Maker provides access to many open-source games, making it an excellent resource for learning and experimentation.
