Chapter 1. Our First Look at Construct
In this book, we will be learning to use Construct Classic, a free open source 2D game creator. However, before we start making games, we'll need to know how to use the tool itself.
In this chapter, we shall:
Download and install the latest version of Construct Classic
Create a new game project
Learn to navigate around the interface of Construct Classic
Learn to work with objects
So let's get on with it.
The first step: downloading and installing Construct Classic
Before we start using Construct, we need to get it running. In this part of the chapter, we'll be visiting the Scirra website to download a copy of Construct Classic, and then we'll go through the steps for installing it. If you already have Construct Classic installed, you can skip this step.
