Orx vs WiMi5

Powerful config system that makes orx data-driven and provides an easy to use load/save system.

Good friendly development community ready to help each other with tips and advice for setting up and best practices.

Automatic hot-loading of resources upon modification on disk, shortens drastically iteration times.

Written in C with high emphasis on memory and CPU efficiency.

Supports Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, iOS and Android.

Orx is a Data Driven engine that greatly reduces required code. You can configure object definitions, bodies, cameras, sound, animation, event tracks, etc.

GLSL code can be added straight into data configuration files and can be applied to any texture: background or objects whivh allows for some amazing effects. All GLSL versions are supported, again by providing the shader language version in your configuration file.
Parameters are supported and values over time for shader animation.

Clock system that provides time consistency and allows time stretching + high precision timers

Color and translation FX are simple to configure and apply to objects.

Includes a chaining graph & custom animation events for synchronization.

Uses the zlib license. Lets you use Orx for free for any kind of projects, even for commercial ones.

All input devices are fully supported: Joysticks, Mouse, Gamepad, Keyboard and Touchscreen. Multiple physical devices and be mapped the same binding.

Rated the fastest engine in the OpenFL’s BunnyMark since October 2015.

Samples for sound effects, or streams for music. All sounds can be groups via audio buses just like in a typical DAW (Digital Audio Workstation).
All sounds can be spatial relative to the camera.

Camera/viewport scheme allowing multiple views displayed with camera translation, zoom and rotation.

Fragment (pixel) shader support, render to texture, MRT, easy composition and custom rendering support.

Integrated runtime profiler (with graphical display) to easily spot which parts of your game need to be optimized.

Supports .bmp, .png, .jpg, .tga and .dds

Orx provides a excellent c++ wrapper for object oriented design, called: orx/Scroll. You can, of course, roll your own.

WiMi5 integrates a powerful visual scripting solution based on Blackboxes that allows you to create the logic flow of the game. You don't have to code (if you don't want) but you can also do it. WiMi5's actions and behaviors 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.

WiMi5 provides integrated back-end services, with tools available to save game session data, manage rankings, etc.

The WiMi5 platform is free to use, supported by post-publication royalties.

WiMi5 provides features to manage in-app purchases and micropayments. Virtual Goods management is integrated into the Logic Editor.

WiMi5 maintains partnerships allowing simultaneous publication to a number of Web and mobile stores, all managed through the WiMi5 platform.

Games can also be downloaded and publish it wherever you want: in your own server or with your own partners. Just check the Download feature in the settings of your game.
