microStudio is a code-centric game engine, thus you will do programming in it. But fear not, it includes a rich documentation and many interactive tutorials to get you started in no time!
It looks like very promising. I have a question about setting resolution. Let's say I would like to force constant value (e.g. 256x144). How can I do that?
microStudio uses the full resolution available on the user's screen. If you want to make your game look 256x144, you will just have to scale your sprites accordingly. The coordinate system automatically sets the total view height to 200 "units" when in landscape mode, thus here is how you could draw an 8x8 sprite:
screen.drawSprite( "my8x8sprite", x, y , 8/144*200 )
Oh and I almost forgot, you could also just scale the screen once and then use your own coordinates system all along:
screen.setScale( 200/144, 200/144 )
// you can then use
screen.drawSprite( "my8x8sprite", x, y , 8, 8 )
As 256x144 is a 16:9 ratio, you may also want to select "force ratio: 16:9" in your project settings.
Hiya it seems nice but can you please add some transparent colour in the sprite editor if its possible? thank you! Looks very nice.. also i dont mind there being links from your gameengine to your website but as it is now its a bit annoying when you click here there you get there anyway xD
The pencil tool, fill bucket tool and eraser tool all have an opacity setting which you can use to add some transparency to your colors. The engine works fully offline, but it also does include a few links to features that can only exist online, such as the Community (user forum) and the Explore section (view projects published by other users).

Good. I have already thought I won't receive any answer. Thanks.
can i sell my games made using this tool?
Of course you can, without any restriction or requirement. microStudio is free and open source (MIT license).
really awesome, well done.
