Hey guys! I have been trying to find an easy to learn game engine with IDE for a little while now. I was planning to do a project with my fiancee and she is used to rpgmaker2k. After a while I found superpowers. I would love to recommend this to everyone who wants to start developing.
It comes with a server/client software that you can either run on your own computer or on a server and connect to that. The brilliant thing about it is, that you can have your friends connect to it and chat with you, then start developing together. the project files are managed by the server in a way that you can collaboratively code, make maps and add and edit assets in real-time. It's like minecraft for coders/pixel artists.
and it's free and open source!!!! and your friends can connect to your server using their webbrowsers without installing anything!
the developers were aiming for an open design, so that you can easily add "systems" to the server that enhance it's functionality for other languages than html5. Now there is a löve2d system, haven't been able to get it working yet on my server though.
here is the website: http://www.superpowers-html5.com
and the git repo: http://github.com/superpowers/
anyway, I would love to have this on pandora and pyra. apparently you can run the server on a rpi2, so I don't think it should be impossible but who knows. All I can say is, it needs node.js 4.x for the server. not sure what the client needs however.
One thing that I'd imagine to be rather difficult is packaging the games into pnd form. I think we will have enough software to run html5 applications on the pyra, but I am not so sure about the pandora.
The developers recommend electron for making a native executable out of the html5 output. electron apparently supports arm, but it's a new feature and it seems like they haven't implemented it correctly for arm 32bit yet (the person testing this on a raspberry pi had to add arm64 to the supported architectures which is obviously not a good idea).

can someone have a look into this? it would be awesome to have another game maker available that works on both pyra and pandora (with the love2d support even better). and the collaborative game making features are just so damn cool!
[doublepost=1463226616,1463226115][/doublepost]oh and having electron working for armel and armhf would be awesome,too! maybe we could run software that would otherwise not be usable if run in chrome or firefox on pandora.
@ptitSeb interested?
