| style="width:40%;" | '''Visionaire Studio''' is great for quickly getting ideas down as you can do everything without having to type a single line of code. You just click and select!<br/><br/>Bring your game to life in a matter of ''hours'' or ''days'', instead of ''weeks'' or ''months''. What would usually take you ages to achieve via programming can be done much faster due to our [[#powerful_event_system|event system]] which allows you to effortlessly combine pre-made [[#flexible_actions|actions]], queries and [[#built-in_script_editor|code]].<br/><br/>Visionaire also provides a visual approach to design with a ''what you see is what you get'' type of preview section which allows you to quickly place assets and preview animations and toggle condition states.<br/><br/>Testing what you have currently done so far, is as easy as saving your project, then pressing '''run'''.<br/><br/>Within ''minutes'' or ''hours'', you could have a working prototype to share with the rest of the world! || [[File:eou_scrn-1.png|650px|center]]

| style="width:40%;" | '''Visionaire Studio''' is not all about clicking everywhere. We also have are own built-in text editor which allows you further ''enhance'' what is already possible with the editor alone.<br/><br/>You can use it to further enhance your game, or to speed up workflow; which is all fandango, if you are more used to coding than ''wysiwyg'' visual development.<br/><br/>Most of the available action parts can be accessed or manipulated through the [[Data_Structure|data structure]] tables or [[Compiled_Index_of_Lua_Scripts_for_Visionaire_Studio|functions]] we have already created, but you can still write your own custom functions and scripts with ease. All it takes is a little time and patience to get to grips with, and you will soon be banging scripts out left, right and center.<br/><br/>We fully support Lua 5.1 and the openGL ES 2.0 shader language.<br/><br/>Our text editor is based on [http://www.scintilla.org/ Scintilla].<br/><br/>Here are some of the available features:
 
* Lua (5.1) & GLSL shader language (es 2.0)
 
* Color syntax highlighting
 
* Collapsible blocks
 
* Import/read/write external files
 
* More in the future...
