Hi everyone, About 2 weeks ago I started an experiment aimed at learning more about RoboVM. I set out to port a simple Pong game to iOS, just to see how far I’d get. Much to my surprise (and thanks to Niklas’ help), everything went smooth and Retro Game I (Pong was taken) is now available on the App Store:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/retro-game-i/id876950489 I’ve been told this is the first JavaFX app on the App Store. The steps I took to port and submit the app are summarized in the follow blog entry: http://asipofjava.blogspot.be/2014/05/pong-aka-retro-game-i-available-in-app.html There probably is a lot of room for improvement in what I did, but hopefully this will show that -even if the tools aren’t ‘there’ yet- it’s already pretty easy to build iOS apps with JavaFX with what we have today. I mean, if I can do it ... ;) Best regards, --- Steven Van Impe Lecturer @ University College Ghent, Belgium http://asipofjava.blogspot.com/
