| '''YaneuraoGameScript 2000''' (abbreviated '''YaneGameScript 2000''' or '''YGS2K''') is a scripting and runtime environment created by Urao Yane (Yaneurao) aimed for the easy creation of game applications. The language is loosely based on C, with numerous game-related embedded functions. It is an interpreted language, allowing one to start coding and/or modifying existing games by simply using text editors like Notepad, without the need to set up file paths or compiler toolchains.

| YGS2K is freeware and allows the creation of commercial products, however the environment itself is closed source. The author has abandoned the development of YGS2K in favor of his newer game development SDK, YaneuraoGameSDK.

| [[Heboris]], a popular fan game in Japan, was developed using YGS2K. The original author has not updated the program since 2002. However, fans of the game, residing in the 2ch forums, have taken it to their own hands to continue development, bringing it far beyond what the original game was capable of. Despite being obsoleted by its author, and the emergence of ports to compiled languages like C++, Heboris continues to use YGS2K due to its low barrier to entry. | |

| Urao Yane first gained fame for developing BM98, the first Beatmania simulator.
