Welcome to Crayon, a free, open-source, beginner-oriented programming language for creating 2D games.

You can export Crayon projects to run on a variety of platforms including:

• iOS
• The Web (exports to plain JavaScript, so no browser plugin necessary)
• Windows
• OSX
• Chrome OS

Android support is currently in the works.

Crayon is a standalone programming language, not a game maker or game engine. It is open source (under the MIT license) and will always be free to use.

Where to get started:

• Downloading and setup instructions
• If you're completely new to programming, you should start with the Introduction to Crayon for Beginners.
• If you already know a few programming languages, the Introduction to Crayon for intermediate programmers uses concepts you already know and quickly outlines the Crayon equivalents.

The tutorials page also has a variety of tutorials for more specific tasks. Additionally the Demos page is a good place to see real code in action.
