It takes a lot for me to recommend a product, but having played with ImpactJS (on the list) I can't recommend it enough.
Although it's commercial, $99 is cheap and it was great fun to tinker with over the Christmas holiday (I like paying for software, then I don't feel guilty if I have a question to two). The integrated level designer really made it more approachable for somebody just starting to think about HTML5 games.
- clyfe 16y agoIs it able to do isometric view and pathfinding ?
- traskjd 16y agoI'm not an expert with it - I'm in the tinkering phase only :-) Having said that, based on what I saw on the forums it doesn't support isometric out of the box but you can create your own tile type and then work with isometric tiles (I can't speak for the creator, but the question has come up enough that I would hope he's looking at adding native support!). The Isogenic Engine (http://www.isogenicengine.com/home/ http://www.isogenicengine.com/home/) on the list looks quite good for Isometric games but I haven't used it - would love to hear how people have found that library. I'm not sure about path finding. I've been building basic platform style games where units go backwards and forwards typically. For starting out with simple platform games though it's quite nice.
- shazow 16y agoAs far as I can tell, isogenicengine is not published. There's a beta signup, that's about it.
- boneheadmed 16y agoI have to agree. I bought it after the new year and am having a great time with it. I think the documentation is great and the author seems very committed to doing a fine job and perhaps more importantly continuing with his project.
