In the tool of Bedrock, there's a happy happy family
of mobile games deployment opportunities.
Okay, so we can't really run with the Flintstones jokes much longer. But UK firm Metismo has announced that it's to support Antix Labs' Antix Game Player technology in its Bedrock Cross Compiler tool.
The result? It'll be quicker and easier for developers to port their Java games to Antix's C++ based platform. Although these ports won't be taking advantage of native platforms in terms of graphics, they will benefit from improved CPU usage and battery life.
"Antix has been gaining significant traction with device manufacturers, and accordingly we've seen an increasing demand from publishers to target the Antix Game Player platform," says Metismo CEO John Chasey.
One question is whether lots of ported Java games will really show off the Antix Game Player's capabilities, but the deal does increase the technology's visibility amongst the development community.
