Sphere Studio is a powerful .NET-based integrated development environment for Sphere game development with an interface inspired by Visual Studio. It sports many features that the original editor lacks, such as single-step debugging and plugin support, and is fully compatible with both minisphere 3.0+ and the original Sphere 1.x "Vanilla" engine.
Using Sphere Studio, you can quickly build Sphere games with the provided editors. The IDE includes a comprehensive set of editors for game development, including a powerful code editor with Quick Find and Replace support, map and spriteset editors, and more. And single-step debugging is supported with compatible engines, allowing you to easily debug your game's JavaScript code.
If you need additional functionality, the editor has a powerful plugin system which allows any kind of feature to be added by writing a plugin in C# or VB.NET. The possibilities are endless!
Sphere Studio v1.2.1 is the latest stable version. You can download the latest release from GitHub here:
note: .NET 4.5 or later is required to run Sphere Studio. On modern Windows systems this is usually included, but if not, the latest framework can be downloaded from Microsoft by clicking here.
