Train2Game Game Designers and Artist & Animators who want to practice their skills but lack coding knowledge (or access to a friendly Game Developer through the Train2Game forum) will be able to do so thanks to the new HTML 5 game engine.

The GameSalad tool allows games to be built using a drag and drop interface, with the resultant titles being exported in HTML 5 code.  It removes the barrier for developing games for both Ios and Android devices, with the results able to be displayed on most browsers.

GameSalad doesn’t offer support for Flash, despite being one of the most popular ways of playing games online today.

HTML 5 is “the next language of the web” said GameSalad CEO Steve Felter.

“We’re giving people the ability to play and share GameSalad games within a web browser – dramatically expanding both the reach of our developers’ games and their ability to create conversations and community around them,”

In other programming news, last month the Train2Game blog reported on the £15 Raspberry Pi mini computer which looks to revive the era of bedroom coding.

So Train2Game, what are your thoughts on the HTML5 game engine? Is it something you’d use?
