Stencyl is another brick driven game engine which has the option of using the Haxe programming language. MakeCode Arcade is 2D only, offering an updated Scratch like experience with the ability to switch to Python and JavaScript from the Lego-brick like programming langauge. Microsoft MakeCode Arcade is one of my personal favourite recommendations for a first game engine and I did a 30 minute game tutorial recently. The spreadsheet like programming approach seems to be the inspiration for several of these engines and it was used to create Five Nights at Freddy games. ![]() ![]() GDevelop is a 2D game engine.ĬlickTeam Fusion is hard to recommend at this point in time as it’s getting quite long in the tooth at this point. One major difference is GDevelop is free and open source. GDevelop is an open source visual programming game engine similar to Construct 3. Construct 3 is a 2D game engine with some initial 3D support. Construct 3 have responded to the recent BuildBox changes with a 6 month offer. It’s free and was developed by MIT specifically to teach programming to kids.Ĭonstruct 3 uses a spreadsheet like approach to game development and runs in the browser. Scratch uses a lego brick like approach to game development and is the inspiration for several of the other engines on this list. ![]() Scratch is the most kid focused game engine on this list. The following list is in no particular order. So if you are looking for an easy to use game engine, hopefully this might help. However we have assembled a list of some of the easiest or more accessible game engines available. With the recent self destruction of the BuildBox game engine it lead to an interesting question… what is the easiest game engine? Now obviously there is no simple answer to that question, easy varies from person to person as do the way we think and learn.
