Session

Building 2D games with Construct

Construct is a low-code, in-browser development environment for creating 2D games. Contrary to what you might expect, the browser based IDE has extreme power and top notch user experience. It is an all-inclusive suite of tools for creating sophisticated games with as much, or as little coding as you desire.

This session will build a simple game from scratch that demonstrates the core features of the platform including movement, animations, sound, scripting and expressions. Even if you are a tried-and-true coder, the event sheet, which provides a code-less interface for defining all of the actions taking place 60 times per second, is a great way to build a complex game quickly.

We will also see how to debug, share and publish games to various platforms. Bring your device along and help me test the game in real time!
