Could you please explain to me in more detail what is Matali Games?
- Matali Games are the complete sets of projects dedicated to supported platforms and IDEs (with full specific and shared C++ source code), which can then be compiled into executable files. Matali Games currently consists of Matali Physics Game set. This set you can use as starting point for the design of your dream commercial computer game, as well as a hands-on learning resource.

How easy is it to create content procedural with Matali Games?
- Most of Matali Physics Game scenes are procedurally generated in C++ code (including animations). The full C++ Matali Physics Game source code is included in the Matali Physics SDK, so creating such content is relatively easy based on the provided examples.

I have Matali Physics SDK and would like to compile Matali Physics Game for Linux. What should I do?
- Our preferred approach is: first install one of the Linux distributions (we recommend Kubuntu 20.04 or higher), e.g. on an additional partition next to the Windows. Then install Apache NetBeans 12.1 or higher on Linux and configure it for C++. In Apache NetBeans, open Matali Physics Game project for Linux included in the SDK and compile it to executables.

I read that Manjaro Linux is recommended for Steam Deck development. Do I need to use Manjaro Linux to compile Matali Physics Game for Steam Deck?
- No. We recommend Kubuntu 20.04 or higher.

What is the situation with source code and modifications? Do any of your licenses include source code? And if so, are there any restrictions to the types of modifications I can make?
- Matali Physics SDK contains full C++ Matali Games source code regardless of the license type (Indie, Micro, Business). The source code of Matali Games (i.e. currently Matali Physics Game set) you can freely modify and use in your commercial games created with Matali Physics SDK.

Does Matali Games support GUI text localization?
- Yes. Physics-based GUI examples with text localization are available from version 6.0 of the environment.

How fast does Matali Physics Game compile on mid-range hardware? The question is about a complete release build of the entire project for Windows.
- On mid-range PC hardware, it takes about 20s to rebuild the entire project for Windows. This is the average value of measurements on several hardware configurations.

I would like to create and sell extensions or components for Matali Physics Game. Is it possible?
- In this case, please contact us.
