I've coded in SDL, godot, unity, and a lot of other engines with GUIs. I still can't just draw fluid vector animations and throw little chunks of code around.

I've coded in SDL, godot, unity, and a lot of other engines with GUIs. I still can't just draw fluid vector animations and throw little chunks of code around. I need to rely on a lot of external programs and more complicated APIs. And I've yet to find a game/animation engine a lay person can pick up and use. That's what made flash special.
