This short article is in need of work. You can help Sonic Retro by adding to it.

The GUI itself

Sonic 2 - Text Code Generator (S2TCG) is a text editing tool created by Selbi and the sequel to Sonic 1 - Text Code Generator.

The tool was meant to generate various kinds of texts in Sonic 2; however, due to the September 2007 Disassembly ^(info) (2.5 MB) by Xenowhirl, most kinds of text can be simply edited as ASCII. The only kinds of text, that weren't having this function, were Zone Title Cards and End of Level Title Cards.

Because it was written in Visual Basic 2008, .NET Framework v2.0 or newer (v3.0 is recommended) is needed to run it.

-'''Sonic 2 - Text Code Generator''' (S2TCG) is a text editing tool created by [[Selbi]] and the sequel to [[Sonic 1 - Text Code Generator]]. However, unlike its prequel, which was for ''[[Sonic 1]]'', this version is for ''[[Sonic 2]]''. The tool was meant to generate various kinds of texts in ''Sonic 2''; however, the current release only supports Title Cards. It was designed for {{file|Sonic 2 (Split and Text by Xenowhirl).zip|Xenowhirl's September 2007 Disassembly}}, although it should work with the SVN version too with some minor modifications. Because it was written in Visual Basic.NET 2008, .NET Framework v2.0 or newer (v3.0 is recommended) is needed to run it.
