## What it is
Malware's Development Kit (MDK-SE) is a C# development kit for writing in-game scripts for the Space Engineers programmable block, providing Visual Studio project templates, build tooling, and API access. It is now deprecated in favor of its successor MDK2 (malforge/mdk2).

## Use cases
- write space engineers programmable block scripts in c#
- set up visual studio project for space engineers ingame scripting
- debug and build space engineers scripts outside the game
- develop automated ship and station scripts for space engineers
- migrate legacy mdk-se scripting projects

## When to choose
- maintaining or reading existing MDK-SE based scripts
- following older tutorials built around MDK-SE

## When to avoid
- starting a new space engineers scripting project - use MDK2 instead
- you need up-to-date API documentation or support

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: maintenance
- function: sdk, build-tool, developer-tools, boilerplate
- domain: developer-tools
- platform: windows, cross-platform, game-engine, dotnet
- tags: space-engineers, programmable-block, ingame-scripting, csharp, visual-studio, deprecated, mdk2-successor, game-development, automation
