Gamebro is a retro-inspired game engine GUI built with Python and Pygame — a twist on the legendary Gameboy, but made for building 2D games with style, ease, and a ton of custom potential.

Think Unity, but vibin’ on 16-bit aesthetics and simplicity. 💾🕹️

• 🔧 Sprite system with editable custom data
• 🖱️ Clickable GUI with panels (Sprites, Inspector, Toolbar)
• 🔤 Rename sprites with a click & type
• 💾 Save projects as Python scripts
• 📦 Built-in project manager
• 🎨 Slick UI styled in dark mode with accents

• Python 3.8+
• pygame
• ursina

pip install -r requirements.txt

python gamebro_gui.py

That’s it. A clean GUI will launch. You can:

• Enter a project name
• Click "Create New Project"
• Add sprites (Ctrl + N)
• Rename them (r)
• Save your project (Ctrl + S) as a real .py file!

Global:

• Ctrl+S — Save Project

Sprites:

• Ctrl+N — Add New Sprite
• Ctrl+X — Delete Selected Sprite (also removes it from all groups)
• Ctrl+K — Add Data Key to Selected Sprite
• Ctrl+D — Delete Data Key from Selected Sprite
• Ctrl+O — Add a Sprite from a JSON file
• R — Rename Selected Sprite (when a sprite is selected)
• C — Clear Selection

Groups:

• Ctrl+G — Add New Group
• Ctrl+X — Delete Selected Group (when a group is selected)
• Ctrl+A — Add Sprite to Selected Group
• Ctrl+Z — Remove Sprite from Selected Group
• R — Rename Selected Group (when a group is selected)
• C — Clear Selection

Navigation:

• Click on sprite name — Select sprite
• Click on group name — Select group

Inspector:

• Shows details for selected sprite or group.

Tip: Most actions require a sprite or group to be selected. Use the mouse to select items in the Sprites or Groups panel.

Here's what a saved project file might look like:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from gamebro import Sprite, SpriteGroup, entitify
from ursina import *
import sys
import os
from ursina.prefabs.first_person_controller import FirstPersonController

# Project: MyGame
# Created by GameBro Studio

app: Ursina = Ursina(title="MyGame")
window.title = "MyGame"
if os.path.exists(os.path.join("assets", "icon.ico")):
    window.icon = os.path.join("assets", "icon.ico")
window.exit_button.visible = False
window.borderless = True

player = FirstPersonController(position=(0, 5, 0))
player.gravity = 1

platform: Entity = Entity(model='cube', color=color.green, scale=(10, 1, 10), position=(0, 0, 0), collider='box')

bro: Sprite = Sprite(customdata={'x': 0, 'y': 0, 'visible': True, 'color': 'white'}, name="bro")
E_bro: Entity = entitify(bro)

def input(key: str) -> None:
    if key == "escape":
        sys.exit()

def update() -> None:
    pass

app.run()

You can write the code yourself, using the gamebro module (see this document.)
