<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I've done a tiny amount of Android dev (in Java), so I'm
curious about the choice of C++. Does it perform significantly better, or is it
easier to integrate existing C++ libraries, or do you like C++ more, or
something else?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Hi all.
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Speaking of game frameworks, I've been working on one for Android as a
side-project [1]. BlueGin is written in C++, based on Flixel, and cobbled
from code I used for a couple of native ports (EnviroBear, Canabalt). The
reference page [2] has more information on features. Documentation is
still pretty sparse but the API is stable and I think the samples are reasonably
well commented.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Anyway, it's all open source and I hope someone finds it useful. Even
if just as a starting point for your own Android projects. Feedback and
patches gratefully accepted.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Cheers,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Dan.</DIV>
