  • FlashPunk

    A free ActionScript 3 library designed for developing 2D Flash games. It provides you with a fast, clean framework to prototype and develop your games in. This means that most of the dirty work (timestep, animation, input, and collision to name a few) is already coded for you and ready to go, giving you more time and energy to concentrate on the design and testing of your game.

  • On the technical side, MonoGame (C#), Libgdx (java) and FlashPunk (AS3) are your best guest. FlashPunk is an entirely open source game library that can teach you a lot of the logic behind games just by looking at the source code whereas in MonoGame, you have to create your everything. Bastion was made with Monogame

  • GDevelop - Free and open source again, it's a bit of a 'simplified' engine designed for beginners.

  • SurveyJS
