Do things your way with WADE

A unique combination of a powerful JS framework + an amazing set of authoring tools, WADE doesn't force you to do things one way or another - you are in charge!

• Design games with a fully-featured visual editor, or use WADE as a plain JavaScript framework to integrate with your own tools. Your choice.
• Write all your code from scratch, or use pre-made objects. Or some pre-made objects and some of your code. You decide.
• Entity-Component-System. Or not. Or just a bit. It's up to you.
• Entirely data-driven. Partially data-driven. Not data-driven at all. Pick the approach you prefer.
• Event-driven or update-loop based. Or both. Whatever suits your needs.
• Choose a renderer: WebGL, 2d canvas, or both together.
• Organize your game flow with code, or with flow charts. Want to do a bit of each? Of course you can
