[major edit]

For those who are interested, my engine has been around a few months now, and we are currently at 1.0.2. There are a few guys on the team, and things are coming along nicely. Everything is open source, and you are welcome to offer suggestions to get them put in.

I'm currently working on the next update of the engine, I have made several bug fixes, and added a number of features - including many common modifiers.

The particle engine is also up and running now, I've got a video of the particle engine below. Bringing the moving particle emitter to the application took 3 lines of code.

(Also, it is my camera that brings the frame rate down, honest! It was averaging around 45 fps in this demo)

Seems to be realy good, but there is still lots of gc.
I will make more test and give feedback !

Thanks for you work, it is a good starting point for game development

Hi Frink, congratulations for your work.

I have a question about the Example03 and the Text class:
why it doesn't show anything? At least, I can't show any text on the emulator nor on the real device.
I tried to set the color but nothing happens.

Thank you, keep up the really good work.

There seems to be a bug in 0.11 that prevents the text from showing, it works in the original 0.10 release (you can find it in previous versions)

I've fixed it now, was just a mistake I made that broke it. I'm currently working on my own game from the engine, and made some noticable additions that I'll be using in a new release of the engine later this week (and a new license)


Thanks for bug reporting though

Very nice! I will be using this soon!

Thanks!

Thanks for you work,Looking forward to the next version of the engine.

Hi,


I've just had a look at your work, and it looks like you've done a lot of thing !
That is really nice !

I'm just a little concerned by the licence : using a GPL licence means that anybody using Rokon for a released product must provides the sources of his product.

It is entirely your choice, and I won't try to change it (if it is the way you want it to be, it's just fine ! ), but I just want to point out that this licence is a real obstacle for a lot of people.

WOW! This is awesome! . I just had to try this, but I've started with a problem.

I have imported Rokon to eclipse and the samples that come with Rokon work fine on my G1. But when i include it into my own app and try to start it I get these errors:

Code: Select all

I suspect that I don't include it correctly somehow. It seems to be ok with Eclipse how I do it since it doesn't complain.

This is one project that could definately benefit from the NDK when doing heavy math calculations.

I'm trying to use this API, but got a problem with the import android.hardware.Sensor; this package don't exists and other classes contais some errors too this can't be fixed? just to do some simple things with the API, because with this errors I can't see what I can do with this API.

thanks for your work, I will use this engine. I am a chinese.

thanks for your working code !
checked out the google code and the examples launcher worked straight !

very useful

good work

how easy is to create board games with this engine?

He !!
I've just seen that the author had released a new version, had a new website ( http://stickycoding.com/ ), and, best of all for me : change the licence, so anybody can now use it !!

Nice job !!!

Will this engine make it possible to zoom in and out from a 2d plane, or is that something I will need to do with a 3d engine?
