HyperLap2D is a general-purpose visual editor designed to compose complex scenes through an intuitive drag-and-drop interface. It focuses purely on scene description, maintaining a clean separation between graphical assets and business logic.

Scenes are brought to life via dedicated Runtime libraries, which handle efficient rendering and allow you to focus entirely on game logic.

Currently, development is primarily focused on the libGDX framework, though HyperLap2D is architected for easy integration into any other engine or framework.

Getting Started

HyperLap2D is distributed through two main release channels:

• Stable: Recommended for production. Download it from the official website or the GitHub Releases page.
• Snapshots: Automated builds reflecting the latest repository changes. Available via GitHub Actions (GitHub account required). Ideal for testing recent bug fixes or upcoming features.

Note: Runtimes and extensions follow the same release/snapshot structure. Refer to their respective README files for specific setup instructions.
