Platform = Same API for different hardware and OSs
Engine = Multiple Libraries
Library = like minded API abstractions

Avian

Good job.

I don't use it because it does not work on J2ME and HTML5 via GWT would be hard to add.

I use a 3D engine that I can use on Android, J2ME, J2SE, HTML5, and Avian.

Nice tool.  Too bad it is GPL only.  Maybe you should make a commercial license.

I don't see a download.

nice

I added you.  If you have a key left please send me one. (tberthel on steam).

Why do you all get so many keys? Free?

Very nice.

Dynamic languages at run time do not need templates.  Everything is an Object.  Templates for Dynamic languages are for noobs.

This is how I see it. US Presidents 35+ years.

Malaise Fascist	Jolly Fascist	Elitist Fascist	Horn Dog Fascist	Idiot Fascist	Communist/Fascist
Carter	Reagan	Bush I	Clinton	Bush II	Obama

I suspect I know why 24k people registered for Mars One.  Life is shit for those constantly paying for the Fascist Police State scam.

I miss Reagan.

I picked the $20 dollar deal.

While I am using Avian to solve the problems I would have used JET for I just could not pass up the deal just to compare and evaluate possibilities for future products that I will deploy.

Nice.

I will need to make a game just for this.

Stuff I can live without in Java:

Autoboxing
Generics
Abstract classes
IOC for everything
Casting to Interfaces for non IOC classes.
Inner classes
Anonymous classes
static classes (I don't mean singletons)
Most collections since they are too slow.

Stuff I can't live without:

Properties
Methods
Classes
Primitives
Arrays
Interfaces
Strings

Stuff I want to see in Java:

OSGI and/or Modules aka Jigsaw
Faster (Yes I know it is already fast enough.)

I have 14 games on Android.  I have 4 more games and 1 more app that I have started work on.

I use the AllBinary Platform that runs on J2ME, Android, J2SE, HTML5, Flash, and eventually Native with Avian.

Here are some of them:

Zepto Towers
 MiniSpaceWar
 ZeptoRacer
 ZeptoRacer 3D
 MiniSpaceWar Vector
 SantasWorldWar
 Obama Stimulus
 Don’t Lose Your Balls!
 Zepto Wars - RTS (Art by Toke Rasmussen)
 Zepto Tanks - Multiplayer
 Tank Massacre 3D (Art by Marian Fedoronko)
 Neon Puck 3D (Art by Marian Fedoronko)
 Evil Kitty 3D (Art by Marian Fedoronko)

None of them are hits, but I did write them all alone.

Thanks,

Travis

For years people told me it could not be done, and now you have created the proof that supports my argument.

Good Job.

I remember when running on Windows, Linux, Solaris, and Mac was a real break through.  I don't make fun of it I embrace the importance of platform independence and not being a slave to a single platform.

HAXE,  (My) AllBinary Platform, Kevin Glasses, and a few other projects are now breaking the lines between the OS platform, browsers, and device types.

I think it is the greatest development in actual implementation since Oak/Java was made.

A truly fundamental change in how people develop code for a device has now changed.

Soon the wave will come crashing down on the single OS, device type, or browser only world.

I expect 1-3 of those games will make it to Android.

I put my game console for Android on IndieGoGo 2 times over a year ago and I get a big fat zero.

Ouya does it and have less info and get over 1 million dollars.

Don't worry Riven I understand.

Prepaid cards work fine.

I believe that software 3D engines do have value.  While specialized graphics hardware can do great things it always misses out on unique graphics styling that takes away from many game possibilities. I expect some cheap hardware of the future will not have a 3D accelerated graphics chipset.

There isn't.  They will call it the, "App Bubble".

Note: My games have free versions and they make a few bucks.

99 is a little high for an modern ARM or Atom device without a keypad or screen.  Maybe they are using some high end stuff like lots of memory or the latest ARM or Atom.

The console they should make:

I am thinking that the price point for a successful Android game console will be more likely to be around 49-79 for the next year or two.  49 without controllers and 79 with 2 controllers.  It should allow Android and IOs devices as lame controllers as well.

I am planning on making my Raspberry Pi into that console when I get it.  It cost 35 dollars and the extra housing will cost some money.

By 2016 that price should fall 4.99 to 7.99 as the hardware cost comes down.  Cheap enough to give away and cover with advertising cost.

You should put it on GitHub or something.

If the order never changes then you can just insert each new gameobject in the correct z order.

If the order changes during game play then you must update the List when the order changes.

You are creating string objects every frame.  Don't do that.

Nice art.  Who did the art?

PlayN and AllBinary Platform kinda have Flash support via java.

My support is J2ME/BB, Android, J2SE, HTML5, Flash, and eventually Native via a subset of Java.

While PlayN has Android, J2SE, HTML5, Flash, and promised IOs support.

So not only is it possible it has already happened, but I have not released all my stuff and PlayN is a lower level framework.
