Which tools should I use to create my game ?

• BabylonJS

  24 21,448 9.9 TypeScript

  Babylon.js is a powerful, beautiful, simple, and open game and rendering engine packed into a friendly JavaScript framework.

  

  Sure; I've used [Phaser](https://phaser.io/) before for a game jam like project and I've heard of [PixiJS](https://pixijs.com/) and [Babylon.js](https://www.babylonjs.com/) as options too. I can't really give a good recommendation either way; Phaser was fun to just write TypeScript and see my game, but it felt like a toy compared to Unreal. I'm sure you could really push it to its limits though. You mentioned you know about LibGDX; I don't have experience with it, but it does seem like a viable option.

• PixiJS

  48 41,016 9.3 TypeScript

  The HTML5 Creation Engine: Create beautiful digital content with the fastest, most flexible 2D WebGL renderer.

• MonoGame

  21 10,075 7.5 C#

  One framework for creating powerful cross-platform games.

  

  Some that I am aware of and that support at least Windows and Android are (Monogame)[https://www.monogame.net/], (Cocos2D)[https://www.cocos.com/en/cocos2d-x], (LÖVE)[https://love2d.org/]. But there are likely many more. Even more basic ones which are just another abstraction layer on top of SDL (like (Oxygine)[https://oxygine.org/]).

• love

  70 3,693 8.1 C++

  LÖVE is an awesome 2D game framework for Lua.

• Godot

  967 75,000 9.9 C++

  Godot Engine – Multi-platform 2D and 3D game engine

  

  And I think you personally should also definitely check out (Godot)[https://godotengine.org/] first. It's again more an engine than a framework, but it's one where you can decide to do most things in code (and it supports C++, too).
