Gimkit Creative is a massive sandbox editor, where you can make 2D maps and game-modes however you'd like and even make them available to everybody. Development started in 2021 and Gimkit Creative was officially released on May 10, 2023. The creator, Josh, announced that they have used Gimkit Creative to make all of their 2D modes. Coding knowledge isn't needed, but it can be used to make more advanced level designs. Creative allows for real-time collaborative creation and enables play for up to 60 players! Each player can create up to 3 maps or up to 10 maps with Gimkit Pro. Creative uses memory based level creation where placing objects uses memory, and there is a limit of 100,000 memory.

## Objects

### Terrain

Terrain are tiles used to create walls and floors in levels. Terrain is the only type of object that is always locked to a grid. Floors take up 2 memory per tile while walls take up 3 memory per tile. Terrain cannot be modified.

### Props

Props are objects usually used as decoration. Props are the only object type that can be rotated. Props use 10 memory and have a 5,000 placement limit regardless of size. Props' colors (colours) can also be tinted in appearance to slightly change the color (colour) of the prop.

### Devices

Devices are mechanics that can affect gameplay, whether it be inventory devices which add or take items from your inventory or advanced devices that can affect teams or players. Some devices allow for drag-and-drop style block code for more advanced editing.

### Wires

Wires can be used to connect devices and allow them to send each other signals in specific directions to perform actions. Wires are not visible in-game. Wires use up 10 memory regardless of length or what they're connected to.
