Pros
Pro Community-driven extensive object repository
Click Fusion has a great selection of extensions submitted by the community.
The extensions cover a variety of game-building tasks including parsing of strings using up to two alternating delimiters using the "Tokenizer Object", generating random numbers without reusing them from multiple lists which can be refilled and distinctively replenished with the "Random Multipool Object" among others.
Pro It is very powerful for making 2D games, yet requires no traditional programming experience and very little to no higher math
There is no 'easy button' program that will make a good game for you with no hard work, and this software is no exception to that, but it does make the process easier. With the option of coding in either a spreadsheet style editor or a list style editor, the event based programming language reads more like English than traditional programming languages. This has made it ideal for those who have a hard time understanding traditional programming. It's the perfect solution for people that want to make 2D games but who don't have a very mathematically oriented mind, and think more visually. Just like anything it can take some getting used to, but after following some tutorials and tinkering with it, you'll be able to create practically any kind of 2D game with it so long as you have the determination.
Pro Supportive, passionate community
The community is quick to help with questions and problems via both the Clickteam forums and Steam, and many users have created extensive tutorials and example code. Clickteam developers are active in the community as well, and take a direct role in helping new users.
