This repository provides the source code for FPS Creator Classic, a game development tool aimed at users who want to create first-person shooter games without extensive programming knowledge. It includes the core application, an update, and numerous free model packs, enabling rapid prototyping and game creation.

How It Works

FPS Creator Classic utilizes a proprietary engine and an integrated development environment (IDE) based on Dark Basic Pro. The workflow involves using the visual editor to design levels and assets, then compiling the project using the provided Dark Basic Pro IDE or Visual Studio to generate an executable game. This approach abstracts complex coding, allowing users to focus on game design and content creation.
