OpenDance Engine

OpenDance is a attempt of recreating Ubisoft's Just Dance gameplay through GameMaker Language

Description

OpenDance aims to recreate Ubisoft's Just Dance gameplay from both UbiArt Framework and Bluestar Engine, by using GameMaker Language.

Every piece of code is being written by hand or reverse-engineered from said engines
