Torque 2D is an MIT-licensed open source C++ 2D game engine originally from GarageGames, featuring OpenGL batched rendering, Box2D physics, OpenAL audio, skeletal and spritesheet animation, and a C-like scripting language (TorqueScript). It supports building for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and the web from a single codebase. Note: this repository has moved to the TorqueGameEngines organization and is no longer updated here.

Use cases

• build a 2D game in C++ with physics and audio included
• ship one 2D game codebase to desktop, mobile, and web
• learn a classic open source game engine with scripting
• prototype 2D games quickly using the built-in sandbox toys
• use Box2D physics in a cross-platform 2D engine
• make a side-scrolling or sprite-based game

When to choose

• you want a batteries-included 2D engine with physics, audio, and scripting out of the box
• you need true cross-platform 2D deployment including web via Emscripten
• you prefer C++ with a lightweight C-like scripting layer
• you want a proven engine used in hundreds of shipped games

When to avoid

• you need 3D rendering capabilities
• you want an actively developed engine on this repository - use the TorqueGameEngines fork instead
• you prefer modern engines with large ecosystems like Godot or Unity
• you need extensive third-party plugin marketplaces
