Looks very similar to Corona, allthough maybe not a full featured (yet), similar goals, both use lua. However pricing is more attractive than Corona, and the ability to build ios apps on a PC could win over a few users. I might look into porting my corona based game into this to see how it goes.


Thanks. Please keep us informed about your feedback. Feel free to contact us anytime.


Interesting, although seems specific to games.

I am currently looking for a framework to write a relatively simple CRUD type application.

Ideally, one could deploy it on pad type devices (iPad AND Android tablets)and phones( iPhone and Android) phones. Bonus, also would work on a regular desktop (x86 Win or Linux).

Requirements: sockets, vector graphics (although I suppose, I could make sprites for each platform).

Of course, perfect write once - deploy everywhere tool does not exist.


We support vector graphics right now, we plan to support sockets soon. Thanks for the feedback, cheers.


I swear, one of these days I'm going to write an IDE that doesn't look like it was made in 1992. I may be a techie, but gosh darnit, I'm spoiled by iPhone, iPad, and Mac apps. I want the stuff I'm using every day to LOOK nice.

(No offense intended, I just looked at the screenshots and my first reaction was "oh no, not again!")


Thanks for the feedback. I see what you mean. We plan to improve the design soon. Cheers.


@gorkemcetin, I would probably pay an arm and a leg for cross-platform API for mobile for access to audio/video recorders. Like what Flash does for desktops' webcam.


Yeah, I think it pays to just learn the two languages, and maybe write a test adapter that allows you to keep your (hopefully larger) code base in one language.


I think it's focused on game programming (which is good compared to html5 frameworks).


@cbartlett we can help you with your work, just let us know :)


we've heard it so many times before...
