Good questions.

A few things to know before your first game.

Who is minijs for?

People making their first game, and the teachers helping them. If you can write a sentence, you can make a game.

Is it free?

Yes. The Studio is free on the web and on desktop, and the games you make are yours to share, give away, or sell.

Do I need the internet?

Only to open the Studio the first time. After that it works offline, in the browser and in the desktop app.

How do I share a game?

Press Share for a link that holds the whole game. Or export one HTML file, or, in the desktop app, a game app of its own.

What can I make?

Platformers, shooters, mazes, and other 2D arcade games, with pictures, animations, tile maps, gamepads, and touch buttons.
