Abstract

Development of games is a relatively long and complex process, which requires a lot of knowledge and appropriate development environment. In this work we present web development environment for which user or developer do not need to install or configure any programs. The user is able to create the game with just clicking or by principles of visual programming, so that the development is simplified as much as possible. Because the product is on the web, everyone can see the source code and change it, modify it, enhance it or use smaller pieces of it for something entirely new. On the werb portal are also options for communicating with other users and uploading different resources, such as images and sounds for use in games. Developing game with support for multiple players is also very simplified as for communication WebSocket and Node.js on server side are used. Created games are compiled into more optimized code, which runs in web browsers with help of HTML and JavaScript. Because such execution environment is very widespread and standarized (all personal computers, independent from operating system, tablet computers and smart phones) the potential number of gamers, is huge. In the end there is also a comparision with some of the most used similar tools for complete game development.
