MegaZeux is a game creation system created by Andrew Pointon in 1994. MegaZeux is a platform for creating 2D games, similar to other game creation systems like RPG Maker. It allows users to create their own games using a simple programming language and a visual editor.
The system also includes a built-in game, which serves as an example of what can be created using the system. The game is based on a text-based adventure format, with a top-down view and simple graphics.
MegaZeux games can be run on a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, MacOS, and Amiga.

Controllers
Button availability for the Wii port varies given which controller or extension controller is being used. Regardless of the available controllers, however, no Wii layout maps lstick or rstick. No buttons are reserved for a keyboard in any layout as the Wii has multiple built-in USB ports. The home button is hardcoded to select when present.
Supported controllers:
- Wiimote (horizontal, no extension)
- Wiimote (with nunchuck)
- Wii Classic Controller
- Gamecube Controller
- Guitar Hero 3 extension controller
These are not supported:
- Wii Balance Board.
- Wii Motion Plus (not supported by MegaZeux).
Refer to megazeux/docs/joystick.html for controller layouts.
