PlayCrafter is a new web application that lets anyone create custom games by dragging and dropping elements around the screen. Built with Flex, Adobe’s Ryan Stewart calls PlayCrafter part of “a whole new world of Flex!” It’s really easy to use and a whole lot of fun.
If you read our coverage of the awesome drag and drop widget building tool SproutBuilder, think of PlayCrafter as the same kind of tool but for game creation. Read on for one example game and a demo video.
PlayCrafter is another example of the way the new web is enabling users to become creators and blowing up the world of content options everyone has to engage with. We love this kind of stuff. Adobe’s success in creating tools that allow other people to create tools that enable other people still to create content is remarkable.
Below is one of the games the site offers as an example of what you can build. It’s fun to play. If you create a cool game in PlayCrafter, embed it someplace and leave a link in the comments below.
