Popfly Game Creator

Yesterday Popfly Game Creator was released (at least the alpha version :) )

It allows you to write a Silverlight-based games, without actually writing any code. Once again, just as I think about the original Popfly, it is hard for non-developers to use this tool, but it can be great to people who lack a lot of advanced knowledge about development but are related to Computer Science (such as students or hobbyists).

One problem about the interface is that it is meant to be used in large resolution monitors. All the buttons are big, and even with a 1280×800 resolution I had some difficulties using the Game Creator.

Here’s a screenshot of the game editor. I like the childish look&feel. :)

Dan Fernandez has written a nice introduction to this tool on his blog. Take a look at it.

Here’s an example of a template which ships with this tool. It is called Big Race.
