A beautifully designed application, Construct 2 is the perfect application if you’ve ever wondered how to make games. You’ll experience game segments deconstructed as you learn how each section works and functions with the other parts.
With no coding experience required, Construct 2 is a great starting point if you’re looking to learn to code or give your child a way to develop coding skills from an early age. With a beautifully designed interface that follows Microsoft’s ribbon interface design, you’ll easily start making games in HTML5.
The software is also reminiscent of Photoshop, having layers on the right side of your screen with the project in the center. This adds to Construct 2’s ease of use and makes adding to individual layers a simple process. There’s also a large number of tutorials available on the Construct 2 website. Learning how to use Construct 2 is easy, thanks to these two things. With the free version having no time limitations, you’re able to practice until you’re ready to buy the full version.
