... the event's mean that you program the sprite what to do ,It's just cleverly disguised.For instance sprite.X+25 looks alot like the C# and C++ language but it's just alot more simplified for the end user.
Programming means having to learn syntax and structure. With things like Construct and MMF and such you don't have to, all of the options are available at a click and the structure is built for you automatically. The only thing you need is an understanding of basic logic and math.
... Some say that if you use a program like Construct or any other Click and Create program that you are not truly a games developer.
And those people would be wrong. The only criteria you need to satisfy in being a game developer is to create a game.
