'''Cre8or''' is a computer game creation program, written by Keith Tabert<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20071106100319/http://www.cre8or3d.com/downloads.php</ref>, AKA "Kappax" (alternatively "Kappa")<ref name="cooldude">http://www.anim8or.com/smf/index.php/topic,4041.0.html</ref>, that is centered around use of resources from the 3d modeling program [[Anim8or]]. It uses a project format with the extension ".cr8", is an [[XML]]-based format. Files of this kind do not seem to be strictly correct XML, however, as many contain unescaped sections of special-character-containing text and binary data.<ref>E.g. Samples/physics2_ramp.cr8 and Samples/boxman_2.cr8, respectively, in the 0.075a release</ref> Cr8 files may embed the Anim8or project ([[Anim8or|.an8]]) file, or they may reference an external one; however, the editor warns that distribution of games is difficult if not embedded<ref>V. 0.075a, tooltip in project setting</ref>.

Cre8or may use [[Squirrel]] scripts.

Creator was released in 2007<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20071107062911/http://www.cre8or3d.com/index.php</ref> and last updated in 2009<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20081015031209/http://www.cre8or3d.com/downloads.php vs. https://web.archive.org/web/20090305080929/http://www.cre8or3d.com/downloads.php, the latter continuing to be the state of the "Downloads" page until the Cre8or site was shut down</ref>. A "cooldude234" apparently made an effort to "remake" it, which seems to have lasted from 2011<ref name="cooldude" /> to 2016, when the "first public release" was still forthcoming<ref>http://www.anim8or.com/smf/index.php/topic,4041.msg40341.html#msg40341</ref>.
