Leap Engine is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE), quite like pretty known game engines but this time adapted for any software and not only games, and focused on homebrew platforms.
Visual Programming provides a more user-friendly, streamlined approach tosoftware development. It allows users to create the logic by only using blocks linked together like in Blockly or Scratch, and so it completely replaces the need for coding.
Yes, Leap (Gen7) Engine uses under the hood a Python interpreter that you can use directly for your software program instead of Visual Programming.
All common image formats (JPEG, PNG, TGA, BMP) including spritefonts, and 3D Wavefront OBJ models, with MTL materials library. Blender plugin available.
Yup, you can develop plugins and custom Visual Programming blocks to create new features, and redistribute them. Find the official Plugins repository on Github.
