其中一款名为科罗拉游戏版本(The Corona Game Edition)的工具包,可以使用同一组代码开发iPhone、iPad和Android手机游戏。该工具含物理引擎功能,可使2D游戏中的物体呈现出栩栩如生的物理运动效果。

原先的Corona软件开发工具版本仅限于iPhone平台,但现在已经可用于开发所有运行苹果iOS系统或者Android系统的手机应用,而且可以自动格式化不同手机屏幕上的图片,为游戏开发者节省时间和精力。

随着Android手机每天激活量突破20万,跨平台运行的手机应用也变得愈加抢手。加利福尼亚州Palo Alto公司的联合创始人沃尔特卢(Walter Luh)表示,用户们现在开始青睐更复杂精细的手机游戏,而Corona软件工具正适合开发此类应用。据了解,《涂鸦向前冲》(Doodle Dash)这款游戏正是利用Ansca Mobile公司的工具开发而成。

据悉,科罗拉软件开发工具包(The Corona SDK)售价249美元/年,科罗拉游戏版本则售价349美元/年。Ansca Mobile公司成立于2008年,由两名前Adobe Flash公司的Adobe手机工程师Luh和Carlos lcaza创办,曾获风险投资公司Merus Capital的150万美元投资。

Ansca Mobile aims to lift the quality of mobile games with better tools

Ansca Mobile is releasing tools today to help developers create high-quality cross-platform mobile apps for games.

The Corona Game Edition toolkit can be used to make games for the iPhone, iPad, and Android phones from the same set of code. (Here’s a video demo). The tools feature a physics engine, which makes it easy to create two-dimensional games with realistic physical behavior for objects in the game.

Previously, Ansca’s Corona software development kit was an iPhone-only platform. Now developers can build apps for any device running Apple’s iOS operating system or Android. It also automatically formats graphics for each different mobile device, saving developers time and effort.

Cross-platform apps are becoming more fashionable in mobile as Android activations are exploding beyond 200,000 a day. Walter Luh, co-founder of the Palo Alto, Calif.-based company, said the tools can be used to create more sophisticated games that mobile users are beginning to demand. Games such as Doodle Dash have used Ansca Mobile’s tools. The Corona SDK costs $249 a year, and the Corona Game Edition is $349 a year.  The company was started in 2008 by two former Adobe mobile engineers (Luh and Carlos Icaza) who previously worked on Adobe Flash Lite.

Ansca has raised $1.5 million in venture funding from Merus Capital.(source:venturebeat)
