DIY Games for Non-Hackers

About Construct2

This uses visual programming to help you create your game.  You don't need to know about programming but it helps you understand flow charts and systems thinking.

The game is designed on Layouts, while the Event Sheets control what happens in the game.

Create new games quickly from Examples and Templates included in the program.
