====== Construct ======

Scirra's **Construct** is somewhat like a freeware version of [[knp|Clickteam's products]]. With too much pixel shader stuff added, that most games you will find use far too much of. Before the program reached version 1 the not-free, [[wp>HTML_5|HTML 5]] focused, Construct 2 was announced, and preview builds are available from the [[http://www.scirra.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=35|Scirra forums]]. Construct (1) has since been renamed Construct Classic, and development opened up to the community, whatever that means.

For people that don't quite click with [[software:Game Maker]] it is, already, a good alternative to the [[company:Clickteam]] software line, especially if you know enough C++ to make your own plug-ins. There is also some rudimentary 3D support.
