BennuGD focuses on modularity and portability and makes it easy for both beginners and experienced users to create their own games.[original research?]
BennuGD is a console application. There are several integrated development environments (IDE) available, but none are officially supported. The package includes a compiler, run-time code, and different shared libraries to extend core functionality.[citation needed]
BennuGD was created as a Fenix Project fork by the Argentinian hacker SplinterGU after some disagreements in the Fenix Project's community.[1]
In January 2010, the first part of a two-part series of articles on BennuGD was published in the Spanish TodoLinux magazine.[7] In February 2010, the second part was published.[8]
