Codename Engine is a cross platform Friday Night Funkin' Engine aimed at simplifying modding focusing on softcoding, along with extensiblity and ease of use.
It is the the official successor of the previously well known Yoshi Engine.
The engine uses HaxeFlixel and it mainly features:
- A full scripting system with an optimized fork of Hscript (its name is Hscript Improved)
- Uses forks of popular libraries tailored specifically for the engine for the goal of better optimization.
- Modding system and softcoding is as capable as source coding.
- Focuses heavily on optimization, and encourages its users to also take on optimization practices.
- Many modding tools without changing the core gameplay and the base to mod on.
- Allows modularity using addons and mods that apply on top of the core mod.
- Advanced editors which allows for possibly better experience and easiness when creating the mod.

Note
Please keep in mind that, despite these differences, we do not consider our engine to be any better or worse than the others.
