Use Contruct to make a simple app?

Can Construct be used to make a simple app/program?

I want to make a very specific online metronome.

Basically, but with options other online metronomes do not have.

I'd rather have the notes scroll by instead of staying stationary.

Plus, I'd like to be able to click-and-hold on each note to select shorter notes (for instance two eighths).

I could come up with a simple animation showing what I need if that helps.

I am sure Construct 3 can do it, but it is probably more work than you might guess, getting the music to scroll by and changing 1/4 notes to eighth notes. I would start with just the basic metronome and see if you can get that to work. Set to different tics per minute etc.

I will work up a simple animatic to show the features.

Is there a better program to create this?

This is the best for building any 2d app. But I am a construct 3 fan boy. Do a search on constrct3 metronome. Other people have worked on this from time to time.

good luck

Ya C3 would be perfect for that. Especially if there's not much communication going on with the server, then it's easy.

To me C3 is perfectly suited for apps (even if it's a business app) that need a lot of custom visual animation / effects. Trying to do complicated visuals in HTML/CSS is a pain.

Yes, C3 can export as a mobile app. Just note that Google Play requires a $25 USD signup fee for the developer account and Apple charges an annual fee of $99 USD, so remember that if you are planning for a phone app.
