JumPHP – Create retro video games with PHP
Tagline: Build retro games with PHP. Run them natively, in browsers, and on Android.
Description
What if PHP could power video games?
JumPHP is an open-source game development environment that lets you create retro-style games using PHP, powered by SDL.
Forget traditional web development for a moment. With JumPHP, PHP becomes a real game development language.
What makes JumPHP different?
PHP + SDL: Create games with graphics, sound, keyboard and controller input, and real-time gameplay.
Native desktop games: Run your PHP games as standalone applications.
WebAssembly: Bring your games directly to the browser.
Native Android: Build actual Android applications, without a browser or WebView.
AI-powered development: Create games with AI assistants through MCP integration.
Open source: Explore the code, build your own games, and contribute.

JumPHP comes with an online playground featuring playable games and examples. No installation required to get started.

Why I built it
I'm a PHP developer, and I wanted to explore how far PHP could go beyond its traditional role in web development.
It started as an experiment. It became a complete environment for building and running retro games across different platforms.
I believe developers should be able to experiment with unexpected technologies and have fun doing it.
Give PHP a joystick! 🎮
