GTA2SGE is a save game editor for a classic PC game; Grand Theft Auto 2 by Rockstar Games. Rockstar has made GTA2 freely available at Rockstar Classics. For new comers to the series, GTA2 is required playing. This program was developed as an intellectual exercise and also to pay homage to one of my favorite gaming series.

If you use GNU/Linux, you may be happy to know that GTA2 runs great under wine, a Windows application emulator. :) Although I have yet to try network multiplayer since no one I know has a copy. But hey, I'm open for a challenge. 8)

The interface was created with the Open Source Edition of Qt 4, a high-performance, cross-platform application development framework. For those who are unfamiliar with Qt, I will give a short run down on my favorite features. Firstly, it supports multiple platforms. You only need to write your code once, yet you can compile for all of the widely used operating systems. Code developed with Qt runs natively on GNU/Linux, Windows, and OS X to name the popular ones. The widgets will be drawn using whatever theme engine the operating system uses normally. Secondly, writing code using Qt's extensive classes is intuitive and feels like the 'right way' to be programming GUIs. If you're at all interested, do yourself a favor and read C++ Programming With Qt 4.
