They have a character of entertainment and challenge, ranging from simple games, accessible to all, the more complex games geared toward experienced players. Create a tool that helps in the development of games for the Ginga becomes an important step to facilitate the production of games that can reach millions of persons not only in Brazil but in all countries that adopt the Brazilian standard.
