Monkey-X has a proprietary lightweight framework called Mojo for creating games. It designed primarily for 2D games, with a powerful set of APIs that make it easy to draw blazing fast graphics on all platforms.

Monkey-X is a modular language. You can create your own custom modules and use other people's - including the awesome box2d and minib3d modules!

Best of all.. Monkey-X is (one of) the best platform(s) you can choose when you want to start programming games without any experience. The community is very helpful especially to new Monkey-X users.
