Using the PlayN Library to build awesome cross-platform games

In this session we'll provide an introduction to Google's PlayN game development library. PlayN is a cross-platform game library that allows you to create a single Java code base that will run in HTML5, Java, Android and Flash. iOS will be added to the list very soon.

A little about PlayN from their website (http://code.google.com/p/playn/):

"PlayN is a cross-platform game abstraction library for writing games that compile to:

  1. Desktop Java
  2. HTML5 Browsers
  3. Android
  4. iOS
  5. Flash†
  6. More?

PlayN is free and open source, and we hope you will make kick ass games with it!"

What is a GDG?

Google Developer Groups (GDGs) are user groups for people who are interested in Google's developer technology; everything from the Android and App Engine platforms, to product APIs like the YouTube API and the Google Calendar API, to initiatives like OpenSocial. Check out code.google.com for the full list of offerings.

Phoenix GDG Mission Statement

The Phoenix GDG is targeted towards developers whose focus is on computing in the cloud. The primary focus will be on Google's developer technology products; these can include (but are not limited to): Android, App Engine, Chrome, Google Web Toolkit (GWT), and product APIs (such as Maps, YouTube or Calendar). The focus of our group is not limited to Google products explicitly, but anything that enables using the internet effectively.
