Find the perfect fit

Flixel is an open source game making library that is for personal and commercial use, written in Actionscript 3 and is designed to be used with development tools.
Flixel is a niche but powerful open-source game development library best suited for indie developers, hobbyists, and small studios looking to build 2D games with Actionscript 3. Its main strengths are its simplicity, active community, and permissive licensing, making it a great fit for rapid prototyping and educational projects. However, Flixel is limited by its reliance on Actionscript 3 and Flash, which are largely obsolete in the modern web and mobile landscape, so it's not a good choice for teams targeting mainstream platforms or seeking long-term scalability. Cost is a non-issue since it's open source, but the technology stack is dated, and support is community-driven, so expect to be self-sufficient.

This information is provided by Archways for guidance purposes only. While we strive for accuracy, specific details may need to be confirmed with the vendor.
Implementation is straightforward for those familiar with Actionscript 3, but onboarding can be challenging for developers new to the language or the Flash ecosystem; support is community-based, so expect to rely on forums and documentation.
Best suited for solo developers or very small teams with at least one member experienced in Actionscript 3; no dedicated IT or DevOps roles required.
Ideal for low- to moderate-scale projects; not designed for high-performance, large-scale, or cross-platform commercial releases.
