s&box is a modern game engine built on Valve's Source 2 and .NET, with an intuitive editor for creating games. This repository contains the engine source for contributors who want to build it themselves.

Use cases

  • build a game engine from source
  • create multiplayer games with C#
  • make games using Source 2
  • contribute to s&box engine development

  • script game logic in .NET

When to choose

  • you want to build games with C# on Source 2
  • you want to contribute to or modify the engine itself
  • you prefer an integrated editor with modern .NET tooling

When to avoid

  • you need a fully permissive open-source engine (some binaries are under a proprietary EULA)
  • you want a lightweight or headless engine
  • you target platforms other than Windows for engine development
