I've reviewed but not used (due to lack of time) several 3rd party game engines for Android. If you've developed a worthwhile engine, please consider putting it on the market (open source or not, free or not). As for getting away from Java, I'm just waiting for the day when SL4A can run PerlSDL. :-) All the best, - Scott. -- Scott Elcomb http://www.psema4.com/ @psema4 Member of the Pirate Party of Canada http://www.pirateparty.ca/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
