Oxygine vs AppGameKit 2.0

Most interesting is ability to build C++ Oxygine application for Web via Emscripten. So you write C++ code and it will compile it to HTML5/JS.

All of them available publicly at github.

• oxygine-movie for playing Theora movies with alpha channel
• oxygine-sound player for ogg sound/music with streaming
• oxygine-freetype library
• oxygine-billing for in-app-purchases on Android/iOS
• oxygine-spine for playing Spine animations
• oxygine-magicparticles for playing particles made with MagicParticles

If you are familiar with ActionScript3/Flash API, then you will find it easy to begin working in Oxygine. Oxygine is much like Flash in C++, as its Event Handling model is very close to that of ActionScript 3 and SceneGraph.

Oxygine is written in C++. It provides easy to use API, which is designed with "do more with less code" philosophy. It uses a managed scenegraph system that takes care of rendering and updates, and provides ability to extend with custom rendering and updates.

Oxygine is a free framework that works on OS X, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android, HTML5. It's licensed under MIT with source code available on GitHub.

It's very rare to experience bugs with Oxygine.

Using oxygine-movie extension for Oxygine you could play in your game any videos encoded with Theora codec.
You movie could have alpha channel and used as simple sprite instead of classic spreadsheet animations.

The AppGameKit Basic can now export to HTML5.

Supports developing games for Android, iOS, PC, Mac, Linux and now HTML5.

There is no charge for upgrades, or for extra platforms (the HTML5 version just appeared in the latest version), there are no subscription fees or other usage charges. If you publish onto either Apple or Google's stores you will have to pay their costs, of course, but the makers of AGK do not take a cut of this themselves.

Plug-ins can now be added to the Windows platform. Create your own Tier BASIC commands and call them using the AppGameKit Basic script language style.

AppGameKit supports instant testing on all connected devices. With the push of a button you can run your game on any device connected to the development machine.

Every function is fully documented with examples and exercises. The Tutorial PDF is a full Introduction to 3D game programming with integrated references to every functionality and its most important usecases. The documentation is regulary updated.

Program in tier 1 BASIC programming for every 3D game need.

A Raspberry Pi version is available and free. Users just need to register with the developer and then they can download.

It is a compilation based language, but the compilation is very fast. A project of about 1800 lines of code, for example, can compile almost instantly. (That's because it does not compile, it's an interpreter)

Informed, timely and intelligent feedback from the AGK forum.

There are plenty of functions which facilitate development and deployment. For example, the AGK player immediately plays the updated bytecode on Android devices then the online site helps with building an APK file for Google Play Store in minutes.

Software produced with the App Game Kit is written in a language called AGK Script. This language has powerful inbuild commands including commands for 2D graphics, physics and networking. The commands make use of the platforms' native functions to improve performance. They are also designed to enhance code readability. The AGK Script commands have extensive online documentation.

It runs fast with BASIC but if you want more you can use C++, it's also easy to use.

Libraries which provide the same functionality are available for the five platforms, so you can code in C++

AGK comes with an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) based on the Code::Blocks IDE for writing AGK scripts. A key feature of the IDE is its ability to broadcast compiled programs to other devices for testing.
