History
The first version of the editor was written in July 1996. Then it was a freeware program for DOS [7] . In the early 2000s, after a break in development, which lasted from the late 1990s [8] on Google Code in order to attract new developers, the source code for the program was published under the GPL license [9] . In 2004, the Eclipse demogroup program was ported to Windows [10] (the source code of this version was not preserved). Since 2007, the process of developing a cross-platform version began, using SDL , the final version of release 2.0 was released on December 6, 2009 [11] .
