SLUDGE (Scripting Language for Unhindered Development of a Gaming Environment) is a shareware adventure game engine developed by Hungry Software. It combines a scripting language with other IDE tools (including a sprite bank editor and a floor region editor). Freeware and commercial adventure games can be created with the engine.

The engine and development kit are freely distributed, meaning that anyone can play and create SLUDGE games. The development kit had certain restrictions which were removed after purchasing a serial number. Because of lack of buyers also the development kit was released as free in 30 December 2006. That was the only change between versions 1.6 and 1.7.

[edit] Capabilities

The editor and runtime engine are currently designed for Windows operating systems, and at the time of writing it is not possible to play SLUDGE games on other operating systems.

SLUDGE can create games with any screen resolution (as long as the user's graphics card can handle it) and up to 16-bit colours. Version 1.6 of the SLUDGE engine introduced support for anti-aliased sprites.
