Stella SDK: cocos2d for WebOS

Published by riq on July 27, 2011 in cocos2d. 13 Comments

Wenqi, contacted me in order to let us know about Stella SDK, his cross-platform solution for cocos2d:

Cross-platform and portability is our angle to contribute to the cocos2d project with our Stella Project. With Stella, cocos2d and supporting libraries have been successfully ported to HP webOS. For the first time, games written in Objective-C can be ported while leaving source code mostly intact.

We did not choose webOS at first without reasons. HP has made serious effort on the operating system and has already launched a series of devices including the TouchPad, Pre3, and Veer. With only up to thousands of games available in the HP App Catalogue today, quality games created with the cocos2d engines stand a really good chance of highly success.

We have successfully ported Sergey Tikhonov’s game “Climbers” to a HP Pre2 device, which uses both cocos2d and CocosDenshion. We are now making the StellaSDK available for limited previews. You are more than welcome to request an invitation code from getstella@yeecco.com.

We look forward to hearing you guys!
