**Geode** is a [Geometry Dash](https://store.steampowered.com/app/322170/Geometry_Dash/) **mod loader** and **modding SDK** with a modern approach towards mod development. Unlike previous mod loaders, which merely inject the DLLs and let devs handle the rest, Geode aims to be a more comprehensive project, which manages loaded mods & hooks itself. Geode has been built to ensure performance, compatibility, portability and ease of use. For devs, Geode means **easy development and portability**; for end users, Geode means **an uniform and easy experience** using mods.
There's nothing worse than having to read thousands of words just to see what some library's code actually looks like, so instead, here's a **Hello World** in Geode right off the bat:
This code hooks the "More Games" button in Geometry Dash, and makes it show a different popup when clicked. Compared to traditional modding methods such as MinHook, we would argue that this is **much simpler to write, understand & maintain**.
> :warning: It is important to note that Geode is **not meant to make learning to mod easier**. To make a good GD mod, you will still need to learn the ins and outs of C++, reverse engineering, byte patching, and everything else. Geode is merely a collection of tools that make modding more enjoyable for people who are already familiar with it; not a magic wand for making mods without the hours of experience and practice required.
