creating a multiple choice game

Unity is best suited and optimized for 3d games, however it is still very useful for 2d games as well. This topic is still considered a game, but in terms of program$$anonymous$$g it meets few criteria most games require, so a ga$$anonymous$$g engine is way too powerful for it. That's not to say you can't use Unity for your game, but if you wish to export it and have others download it, you'll have larger file sizes.

I've never used a real database like mysql or whatever, but I've heard unity is compatible with them with a few workarounds. If you're still relatively new to program$$anonymous$$g, the best part to having an engine is that it covers all of the graphics for you, so you can just focus on the core gameplay. I used to make javascript games too, and over half the time spent was just setting up graphics, but now that can be done very quickly and leaves more time for better gameplay and more content. Would definitely reccomend the use of some engine, even if it's not Unity
