Flixel vs Torque 2D MIT

Ports are available for Objective C, C# (XNA), HaXe and Monkey X.

Pathfinding just means figuring out how to (or if you can) get from A to B. FlxTilemap has a function FlxTilemap.findPath() which returns a FlxPath object, which is just a collection of "nodes", or FlxPoint objects.

Create effects like "split screen" views, or "picture in picture" style displays, or even mini-maps with FlxCamera. Each camera is an independent display object, with its own zoom, color tint, rotation, and scaling values.

Replays are essentially a list of what keyboard keys were pressed, and what mouse inputs were given, during a specific time frame. Because Flixel is largely deterministic, you can use that information to recreate a gameplay session that someone else recorded, as long as you have the same SWF.

• Display thousands of moving objects
• Basic collisions between objects
• Group objects together for simplicity
• Easily generate and emit particles
• Create game levels using tilemaps
• Text display, save games, scrolling
• Mouse & keyboard input
• Math & color utilities

Flixel Power Tools provide a set of classes and APIs that provide more functionality.

Torque 2D gives developers complete access to the source code. This removes all barriers one may hit when trying to extend and/or customize the engine they are working with.

Torque 2D runs on Windows, OS X, iOS, Android, Linux, and Web.

Torquescript is a fast and easy to use C++ like scripting language that ties all of the various elements of a project together. It supports a large complement of functions including math, physics, object manipulation, fileIO, and more. Torquescript features:

• Object-oriented programming
• Transparent interconnection with internal C++ objects
• Built-in fast 2D math (vectors, matrices, and quaternions with all corresponding functions)
• Well-documented standard library (hundreds of functions out-of-the box)
• Component system (aka Behaviors)
• Dynamic asset and module loading

The engine utilizes a combination of batched rendering, asset management, and a module system that allows for high frame rates on all platforms.

Torque 2D MIT's utilizes Box2D for all physics calculations. Anyone with prior knowledge with Box2D by itself or through other engines can easily transfer their knowledge. Nearly all of the Box2D API is exposed to the scripting language, making it a quick process to port games to the engine without having to learn an entirely new system.
