Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.

npx skills add https://github.com/pluginagentmarketplace/custom-plugin-game-developer --skill game-programming-languages

01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads game-programming-languages automatically when relevant.
03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

SKILL.md

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

Game Programming Languages

C# (Unity)

Easiest to learn, most used for game dev

// ✅ Production-Ready: Unity MonoBehaviour Template
public class GameEntity : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private float _speed = 5f;
    [SerializeField] private int _health = 100;

    public event Action<int> OnHealthChanged;
    public event Action OnDeath;

    private Rigidbody _rb;
    private bool _isInitialized;

    private void Awake()
    {
        _rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
        _isInitialized = true;
    }

    public void TakeDamage(int amount)
    {
        if (!_isInitialized) return;

        _health = Mathf.Max(0, _health - amount);
        OnHealthChanged?.Invoke(_health);

        if (_health <= 0)
            OnDeath?.Invoke();
    }
}

Key Features:

Object-oriented, managed memory
LINQ for data queries
Coroutines for async game logic
Events and delegates
Garbage collection (requires optimization)

Learning Path: 2-3 weeks basics, 2-3 months mastery

C++ (Unreal Engine)

Most powerful, steepest learning curve

// ✅ Production-Ready: Unreal Actor Template
UCLASS()
class MYGAME_API AGameEntity : public AActor
{
    GENERATED_BODY()

public:
    AGameEntity();

    UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = "Stats")
    float Speed = 500.0f;

    UPROPERTY(ReplicatedUsing = OnRep_Health)
    int32 Health = 100;

    UFUNCTION(BlueprintCallable, Category = "Combat")
    void TakeDamage(int32 Amount);

    DECLARE_DYNAMIC_MULTICAST_DELEGATE_OneParam(FOnHealthChanged, int32, NewHealth);
    UPROPERTY(BlueprintAssignable)
    FOnHealthChanged OnHealthChanged;

protected:
    virtual void BeginPlay() override;

    UFUNCTION()
    void OnRep_Health();
};

Key Features:

Manual memory management (smart pointers)
Templates and STL
Maximum performance
Unreal reflection system (UPROPERTY, UFUNCTION)
Blueprint integration

Learning Path: 4-6 weeks basics, 4-6 months proficiency

GDScript (Godot)

Python-like, easiest syntax

# ✅ Production-Ready: Godot Node Template
extends CharacterBody2D
class_name GameEntity

signal health_changed(new_health: int)
signal died

@export var speed: float = 200.0
@export var max_health: int = 100

var _health: int = max_health

func _ready() -> void:
    _health = max_health

func take_damage(amount: int) -> void:
    _health = max(0, _health - amount)
    health_changed.emit(_health)

    if _health <= 0:
        died.emit()
        queue_free()

func _physics_process(delta: float) -> void:
    var direction = Input.get_vector("left", "right", "up", "down")
    velocity = direction * speed
    move_and_slide()

Key Features:

Dynamic typing with optional type hints
Simple, Python-like syntax
Signals for messaging
First-class functions
Growing ecosystem

Learning Path: 1-2 weeks basics, 4-8 weeks proficiency
