Platinum Arts Sandbox for Mac - The Ultimate 3D Game Maker and World Creation Program

Are you looking for a fun and easy way to create your own video games, worlds, levels, adventures and quests? Look no further than Platinum Arts Sandbox! This open source software is free to use and designed with kids in mind, but powerful enough for full game projects. With a simple click and roll of a mouse wheel users can modify the world however they want. In the words of Meg, a nine year old Sandbox whiz "Press Edit and go fulfill your dreams!".

Platinum Arts Sandbox is currently used in many schools throughout the world as it allows kids to express their creativity while learning valuable skills such as Art, Math, English, Earth Science, Physics, CAD and Programming C++. Through Moviecube kids are able to create their own movies and stories. Teamwork is promoted through cooperative editing and map creation.

But don't let its kid-friendly nature fool you - designers will also find plenty of value in Platinum Arts Sandbox. It's more user friendly than typical game design software with everything done in-game so there's no compiling required. Being open source means full access to the engine code so new features can be added easily. There's lots of content already included which saves time on the creation process.

Platinum Arts Sandbox has several different modes including cart mode (think Mario Kart), sidescroller mode (think Super Mario Bros.), movie (machinima) mode where you can create your own movies within the game engine itself! And RPG mode where you can create your very own role-playing games!

The software also includes several custom maps that feature saving princesses from castles or navigating mazes or even building houses! The pursuit of making it as easy as possible to add map features and content has been at the forefront of development since day one.

Additional features include a powerful scripting language which allows users to customize every aspect of their creations; height map mode which lets users create mountains or caves within their worlds; support for popular sound formats; ability to import md2/md3/md5/obj model formats; code project files for VS/Codeblocks/Linux makefile/Xcode.

In conclusion: if you're looking for an easy-to-use yet powerful 3D game maker that's perfect for both kids AND designers alike then look no further than Platinum Arts Sandbox!
