Geode SDK
Geode is a 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, a uniform and easy experience using mods.
Why Geode?
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:
#include <Geode/bindings.hpp>
#include <Geode/modify/MenuLayer.hpp>
USE_GEODE_NAMESPACE();
class $modify(MenuLayer) {
void onMoreGames(CCObject*) {
FLAlertLayer::create(
"Geode",
"Hello World from my Custom Mod!",
"OK"
)->show();
}
};
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.
One of our main design goals with Geode has been to make a framework so good that after using it once, you never want to go back.
⚠️ 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.
