2D Game Engines

The game engine we are going to be using is Construct 2. This is a great game engine to use because it uses   HTML 5 coding and has simple easy script buttons that are very easy to understand. It is great for people who want to start making there own games, who want to make quality games, who want to rapidly prototype new games and want to move on from other 2d engines such as flash. It lets anyone make games without any programming experience. The game has a user interface which is basically a drag and drop system. so you can drag in your character and then use the simple commands to get him to do things like jump and run.

Compared with Adobe Flash it is very simple. The advantage with flash is that you can right all the code yourself so you can get a more fine turned version of what you want. This can include things such as timers, ranges, random number generator.
