Our goal is to make a cross-platform 2D game creation tool inspired by the popular Game Maker engine and also by the amazing Phun sandbox. However, we intend that our project will ultimately be open source.
Initially, we are exploring different development frameworks and libraries that can be programmed through C/C++. We have a simple top-down scrolling shooter that we will reimplement using these libraries to help us assess them. We will then narrow the set of candidate libraries. The short-listed libraries will then be subject to further assessment through the development of a simple level editor for the game.
Beyond that we will continue to use an iterative and incremental process to develop our game creation tool.
