Game Engine Feature Comparison

rtoal edited this page Dec 13, 2011 · 1 revision

One of the important tasks in building this project is the selection of a game engine. We therefore did a serious review of some of the popular JavaScript game engines available at the beginning of the semester. Here are some of our findings:

Paladin

  • Hard to get into, couldn't get their demo game running

CAAT

  • Fairly easy to start up
  • Good set of tutorials
  • No documentation outside of tutorials
  • No sign of 3D.
  • Created a red ball that moves up and down, does not obey physics at all.

Flow

Unity3D

  • BROKEN WEBSITE WAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!?!?!

Rocket

Red Locomotive

Aves

CopperLicht

  • Looks like exactly what we want (3D javascript game engine)
  • Supports a bunch of 3D file formats for easy imports into the scene
  • Integration with another product, CopperCube 3D for designing models and scenes
  • More testing required!
