How does Monkey compare to others HTML tools on mobile?

[MikeHart]

Hi folks,

 

for the last two years I bascially use Monkey a lot for my own projects.

Monkey also has a HTML5 target which runs great on Desktop and good on my Kindle Fire 7. But is there something better?

 

I would like to know if someone has compared Monkey to other toolsets and what their results was.

 

As I want to target mobile via HTML5, I am after a good performing framework/toolset which handles sound playing good enough.

 

Any input is welcome.

 

Cheers

Michael

I suspect this isn't a black/white question and really comes down to what sort of game you're making, and at what resolution. If you've been using it a lot already then I'd try taking a game you've already got and just producing a mobile htm5 version of it - then people here can test it across devices and you'll get a feel for if it works well or not.

Thanks for the advice. Mostlikely I will try this approach first. Still need to figure out the best way to handle sound on mobile HTML5, but I will get there.

Hey Mike, have you looked at Haxe? It's another cross-platform language.

 

I wrote Flambe, a game engine especially optimized for mobile browsers: https://github.com/aduros/flambe. Sound on iOS Safari works great via WebAudio.
