Flixel vs uScript + Unity3D

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.

uScript's nodes are a visual representation of actual code blocks, and it takes advantage of C#'s reflection capabilities to automatically create nodes for any scripts it finds in your project, regardless of the source. This makes it inherently compatible with pretty much everything.

Custom nodes can also be created by hand, for cases where the automatically created ones contain more elements than they actually need.

Modeled after UDK's Kismet (the predecessor to UE4's Blueprint), uScript's scripts resemble flowcharts where each box represents a function or value, with connections between them representing program flow. This provides a better at-a-glance indication of game logic than a simple list of events, and makes complex behaviors easier to accomplish.

Nodes are translated directly to C# files in your project. This is great for learning to code, and also for advanced users who can use uScript for fast prototyping and then further optimize the scripts if necessary.
