Games Game engines

[Informatix]

In case someone missed them, here are the game engines at your disposal for the B4x products:
B4a: libGDX
B4j: SimpleGameEngine + jBox2D
B4i: iSpriteKit

By the way, wouldn't you call it "game-development frameworks" instead?

I think the term "game engine" applies to something more like Unity, Unreal or even Mario Maker...

Generally speaking, an engine is considered to "do more" or have more tools and related support than a framework, which is itself is often just a loose collection of related functionality exposed through some unified API.

Both LibGDX and SpriteKit present themselves as frameworks (see attached).

I agree that SGE and LibGDX should be described as frameworks but, frankly, who cares? I don't want to start a debate on this matter.

I am using Babylon.js which can be used in B4X via HTML5 It's a great 3D engine. Game coming soon - well an Alpha / early Beta test version at the very least.
