Polycode
A cross-platform C++/Lua framework for creative coding with 2D/3D graphics, shaders, sound, networking, and physics.
What is Polycode?
Polycode is a cross-platform framework for creative coding that provides easy access to accelerated 2D and 3D graphics, hardware shaders, sound, networking, and physics engines. It solves the problem of complex, low-level multimedia programming by offering a simplified API in both C++ and Lua, allowing developers to build interactive applications efficiently.
Creative coders, game developers, and multimedia artists who need a straightforward framework for building graphics-intensive, interactive applications across multiple platforms.
Developers choose Polycode for its dual C++/Lua approach, which balances performance with rapid prototyping, and its comprehensive built-in multimedia features that reduce dependency on external libraries.
