There is no need to program. An intuitive and easy to use drag-and-drop interface allows you to create your own games very quickly.
You can import and create images, sprites (animated images) and sounds and use them. You can easily define the objects in your game and indicate their behavior, and you can define appealing rooms with scrolling backgrounds in which the game takes place.
Here are some functions only available in the Pro Edition:
You can use rotated, color blended and translucent sprites.
There are additional actions for e.g. CD music, rotated text and colorized shapes.
You can use special sound effects and positional sound.
With the particle system you can create explosions, fireworks, flames, rain and other effects.
A number of advanced drawing functions, for example colorized texts and texture polygons.
It is possible to create multiplayer games that can be played over a network.
You can define your own room transitions.
You can include additional files in the game executables.
The Pro Edition can easily be extended using extension packages. These can be made by everybody and will in general be provided free of charge.
Three such extension packages are included adding many room transitions, windows dialogues and printing facilities.
