Construct 3 vs JavaScript

With the help of the YandexGamesSDK plugin, you can interact with the Yandex.Games SDK through:

  • Visual programming
  • JavaScript

Both methods have their pros and cons, below we will go through the main distinguishing pros of each method.

JavaScript Pros​

  • SDK nativeness. You can use the official Yandex.Games documentation and ask for help from people who do not use Construct 3.

  • Copy+Paste. Visual Construct code is harder to transfer from project to project due to the binding to game objects.

  • Stability. You use the SDK directly, so the chance that some game logic will break due to a plugin developer error is reduced. Yes, I'm not perfect :(

Visual programming Pros​

  • Construct nativeness. It is much easier for you to interact with the engine functions and other plugins.

  • Ease of use. We have tried to simplify the interaction with the Yandex.Games SDK as much as possible. Also, the process of visual programming is much easier to understand.

  • Compatibility with the Web Worker mode of Construct 3.

caution

If you want to use JavaScript, you will need to disable the Web Worker mode in the project settings.
