 Help making games
All the games on this website (appart from two DOS games) were created using either Multimedia Fusion or Jamagic. Both are excellent game making tools produced by an innovative company called Clickteam. These guys have been around for years in this industry, for any old timers out there, you may remember STOS and AMOS BASIC game programming languages on the 16-bits.

Making games does not have to be complicated. Take a look at the tools we use:

Multimedia Fusion Multimedia Fusion (MMF)
Jamagic Jamagic 3D (Jamagic Studio)



Multimedia Fusion (MMF)
For beginners and experts alike, MMF is a powerful tool. It is not a programming language in the conventional sense, everything is set up with the mouse, but don't be fooled, it is no simple template game maker - ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!

Multimedia Fusion

MMF uses a frame editor, sprite and picture editors and a number of powerful objects that allow you to visually construct each level, scene or screen. It is so easy to use you can be making games within minutes of loading it up.

Behind the frame editor are the event editors. This is where the power really starts to show itself. The event editor is a grid of conditions your game should test each loop and what actions to take if those conditions are true.

For beginners or casual game makers, this provides a very simple way to get your game working right away. I have made games in less than a day, and they ain't bad even if I say so myself. However for power users the event editor is very flexible and will not hold you back. All the tools are there for you, thousands of conditions, actions and expressions to use. Everything is highly optimised to ensure that the only limits to your game are your imagination!



Jamagic (Jamagic Studio)
Where as MMF uses an innovative approach to making games, Jamagic on the other hand uses the conventional method of a programming language. Based upon Javascript, Jamagic is a powerful yet simple to learn Object Orientated Programming language. Take the tour of Jamagic and learn the language on our sister website.

Jamagic

There are loads of programming languages to choose from, so what makes Jamagic special? To accompany the language is the largest collection of commands suited for 2D, 3D, Animation, Networking and Windows controls out there. These commands are fast and powerful and will help you concentrate on the game rather than worrying about how to do something all of the time.

To find out more about these programs, click on their names above to go to their product pages at clickteam.com - they also have fully functional demo's for you to try. On our links page you will also find links to Clickteam's forums where you can get help on using MMF and Jamagic. There is also an idependant review in PDF format by PC Plus Magazine.
