Yeah Rokon is somewhat real rough as he did not even switch to JetBoy game sound track engine which is in Android 1.6 now.. On Oct 5, 4:57 pm, vetch oldpete...@gmail.com wrote: I do not know if Rokon is good or great. I looked through his code - for me it looks like early alpha stage. Besides,

Rokon looks pretty good and sounds pretty much like what you're looking for. You'll never be able to avoid writing the game loop but at least Rokon removes a whole bunch of the engine code. On Oct 5, 10:57 pm, vetch oldpete...@gmail.com wrote: I do not know if Rokon is good or great. I looked

I tested Rokon for a while, its pretty clean. He said he was planning on upgrading the sound engine to JetBoy (or at least look into it), but Rokon was written pre-1.6 - Dan On Tue, Oct 6, 2009 at 9:48 AM, MrChaz mrchazmob...@googlemail.com wrote: Rokon looks pretty good and sounds pretty

As I mentioned before. Rokon has GPL licensing. It is useless, if you think about selling your game. Second: using framework without any support is a big risk. One-man support is no support. Third: I need something Google-approved, improved, fixed, developed, tested and stable as rock. No

The guy behind Rokon has said that he was actively persuing changing the license on the next release to the Android License (which should solve the licensing issues)... Just seems odd to me, with an Open Source project like Android to expect Google to step up to the plate and eat the millions of

very funny :) but I think, you did not understand my point. I think about game engine framework embedded in SDK. Google done great job with UI framework, hardware interfaces and others, so I think, creating another high level framework for games, should not be a problem for them. On 5 Paź,

But its a community effort... The guy from Rokon was on here looking for help on his (very well designed) game engine, could be very neat if it got some power behind it. Look at the iphone (as hopefully a decent example), theres not much there in terms of game frameworks. Someone ported cocos2d

I do not know if Rokon is good or great. I looked through his code - for me it looks like early alpha stage. Besides, it has licensing issues, so I prefer to writing my own, that I really understand. I hope Google knows how badly Android needs embedded game framework. On 5 Paź, 23:43, Dan
