We focus on democratizing software development by allowing people to easily create/enhance interactive dapps, games and other user generated content within a couple of minutes.
We also provide a visual interface for those who aren’t familiar with creating software, to fork the existing software, and customize using visual controls to their needs and publish it.
Playcent dapps and games are just Web urls, so these work anywhere on the internet, end user dosen’t need to install any 3rd party application to access the content.
