appMobi and ImpactJS announced the launch of the Impact GameDev XDK. Available as a free download from
the Google Chrome Web Store, the Impact GameDev XDK provides a visual toolkit
for the rapid development and monetization of mobile HTML5 games.
The new Impact GameDev XDK features HTML5 graphics
acceleration based on appMobi’s DirectCanvas and DirectBox2D technologies which
accelerate the HTML5 canvas element and physics emulation, speeding graphic
rendering by up to an astounding 15 times normal. The speed enhancements
achieved through the Impact GameDev XDK make HTML5 suitable for programming any
type of mobile game.
Developers will use the Impact GameDev XDK to program a
single code base and publish apps to a variety of platforms, including Native
iOS, Native Android, Facebook (and Project Spartan), Google Chrome App, and
mobile Web app.
The Impact GameDev XDK, itself built in HTML5, makes it
easier than ever for developers of all skill levels – even entry-level
JavaScript developers – to create great mobile games, without any knowledge of
HTML5.
appMobi has partnered with
ImpactJS to provide the Impact GameDev XDK as a way to jump start game
developers who want to leap on the HTML5 trend with a set of preconfigured
best-of-breed tools that are ready for rapid game development.
“HTML5 mobile games can be every bit as good as
those available from the Apple App Store – and they should make just as much
money for their developers, too,” said Sam Abadir, CTO, appMobi.
“appMobi partnered with ImpactJS because, quite frankly,
their game engine rocks. The combination of appMobi’s XDK, mobile Web services
and DirectCanvas technology,” Abadir added.
appMobi recently announced the availability
of the appMobi Chrome App Packager in the Google Chrome Web Store, adding
another new Web development tool to its arsenal.
The appMobi Chrome App Packager enables Web developers to
build and “package” Web apps and browser extensions properly for easy
submission to the Google Chrome Web Store, a feature that is not available from
Google’s own development tools.
