I’m currently developing a small indie game for the Android framework, however in order to save my some future work – I was wondering, is there a way to develop a game for the Android and iOS at the same time?
I’m aware of HTML 5 solutions, but I’m unsure if you can use them in order to develop games.
My requirements:
* 2D Graphics with animations
* Play sounds (music/sfx)
* Touch gestures (click, drag, pinch, etc)
Any suggestions?
Check out Corona SDK. They offer exactly what you are looking for – 2D graphics, animations, physics engine, touch, sounds; and they offer it as a cross-platform solution for both iOS and Android. The engine is OpenGL based, and they use Lua as a language.
The main drawback is that it costs $200 per platform, or $350 if you want support for both. However, you need the subscription only when you actually get to publishing your game; you can use it for free locally to build for your own device.
