Construct 2

A few post back talk about trying to make a game for the OUYA.  Used the program Game Maker.  Then got frustrated and gave up.  Well the gave up part only last of a little while.   When back to the list of game engines you can use > here.  Looked at the one called Construct 2.  While you can use it to make a game for the OUYA it again looks confusing.  So I will not be doing that.  Because it is simple to upload you game else were.  You can upload right to their arcade section, your own website or a whole bunch of other options as well.

Gave this program a try.  It is pretty cool.  It’s a HTML 5 game editor that lets you make games more easily with is visual editor.  The best part it is free to try.  Of course if you buy it you will get a lot more options.  But if you are like me and just want to try and make a simple game, its prefect.  The all so have great tutorials for beginners.  Did one of those.  Plan to practices a bit more. Do some more tutorials and see what kind of game I can come up with.

Z-Type

A friend showed me this great web game called Z-Type.  It was made by one guy using the program called Impact.  This is a pretty slick.  I can see it suck away of many hours of people that work on computers.  It is like an old school space shoot with a twist.  Which is to shoot you have to type out the words that are over the targets you have to hit.  It helps if you know how to type to play.  Then again this might be a good tool to teach people how to type.
