grid-sdkThe Grid SDK - Game engine for Lua
Grid is a 2D game engine written in pure Lua, built by Planimeter.
It was designed for multiplayer-first game experiences and to bring
professional-grade game engine features to the hobbyist community.
Grid is the most feature-packed game engine you've never heard of, and
provides more functionality out-of-the-box than most other competing game
engines.
Planimeter is a Steamworks partner.
