HTML5 / Game Development Editors/IDE

by Corey Snyder

If you're getting into Game Development using HTML5 & JavaScript you might be looking for an IDE or Editor to speed up development and make your life a lot easier. I'll use this post to keep a list of the current HTML5/JS Game Development Editors.

  1. Impact - Has a great level editor and development tools. Well made.
  2. Crafty - Free! And doing much better than other free engines.
  3. Isogenic Engine - One of the most promising engines out there today. Massively multiplayer networking built in, uses Node.js and MongoDB, and has canvas or DOM-based graphics.
  4. Construct 2 - One of the first WebGL enabled HTML5 game engines.  Exports purely to HTML5 and Javascript.  Uses Canvas only and is extendable with Javascript plugins.
  5. Rocket Engine - Purchased by Disney. Not available.
