Development

Making games does not have to be complicated. Take a look at the tools we use:

Multimedia Fusion (MMF)

For beginners and experts alike, MMF is a powerful tool. It is not a programming language in the conventional sense, everything is set up with the mouse, but don’t be fooled, it is no simple template game maker – ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!

MMF uses a frame editor, sprite and picture editors and a number of powerful objects that allow you to visually construct each level, scene or screen. It is so easy to use you can be making games within minutes of loading it up.

Behind the frame editor are the event editors. This is where the power really starts to show itself. The event editor is a grid of conditions your game should test each loop and what actions to take if those conditions are true.

For beginners or casual game makers, this provides a very simple way to get your game working right away. I have made games in less than a day, and they ain’t bad even if I say so myself. However for power users the event editor is very flexible and will not hold you back. All the tools are there for you, thousands of conditions, actions and expressions to use. Everything is highly optimised to ensure that the only limits to your game are your imagination!

Jamagic

Where as MMF uses an innovative approach to making games, Jamagic on the other hand uses the conventional method of a programming language. Based upon Javascript, Jamagic is a powerful yet simple to learn Object Orientated Programming language. Take the tour of Jamagic and learn the language on our sister website.

There are loads of programming languages to choose from, so what makes Jamagic special? To accompany the language is the largest collection of commands suited for 2D, 3D, Animation, Networking and Windows controls out there. These commands are fast and powerful and will help you concentrate on the game rather than worrying about how to do something all of the time.
