Which tools should I use to create my game ?

PixiJS Phaser LOVE 2D Godot Engine
  1. 1
    Fast and flexible WebGL-based HTML5 game and app development library.
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    Sure; I've used [Phaser](https://phaser.io/) before for a game jam like project and I've heard of [PixiJS](https://pixijs.com/) and [Babylon.js](https://www.babylonjs.com/) as options too. I can't really give a good recommendation either way; Phaser was fun to just write TypeScript and see my game, but it felt like a toy compared to Unreal. I'm sure you could really push it to its limits though. You mentioned you know about LibGDX; I don't have experience with it, but it does seem like a viable option.

  3. Hi there! LÖVE is an *awesome* framework you can use to make 2D games in Lua.
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    Some that I am aware of and that support at least Windows and Android are (Monogame)[https://www.monogame.net/], (Cocos2D)[https://www.cocos.com/en/cocos2d-x], (LÖVE)[https://love2d.org/]. But there are likely many more. Even more basic ones which are just another abstraction layer on top of SDL (like (Oxygine)[https://oxygine.org/]).

  4. Feature-packed 2D and 3D open source game engine.
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    And I think you personally should also definitely check out (Godot)[https://godotengine.org/] first. It's again more an engine than a framework, but it's one where you can decide to do most things in code (and it supports C++, too).
