Rokon Game Framework
Feb 16th
Android really needs a solid framework. Specifically, a multimedia multipurpose framework. Something to help game developers in their hard work. Rokon Framework is an open source project that aims to that. It started with very few library functions, some months ago, and now it’s becoming something serious.
Give it a look and if you are going to try it, share your feedback!
Note for the Rokon developer: please fix your Wiki page on your site. Your tutorials have been (and they are) inaccessible for days!
Book: Pro Android 2 Games
Aug 24th
Apress is going to release a new Android book, following up the previous Pro Android: Pro Android 2 Games.
As the name says, it should be focused on Android game programming and I bet it will be a best seller. I will confess you: I’ve been for a span of time a Flash games developer and I’m having some difficulties going back to Java for this.
Without doubts programming with Actionscript 3.0 is easier and I was able to focus on the game mechanichs rather than the Java language objects, try/catch blocks, threads, memory leaks and performance issues. So I’m one of those who are expecting a lot from this and forthcoming books.
