The Sparrow framework allows to create interactive applications for the iOS platform. The main target is the creation of 2D games, but Sparrow can be used for any graphical applications.
Some of the features are,
- Free & Open Source: Sparrow does not cost a dime. Users can download and use it right away. And because it is Open Source, user is always in control. Step through the code and learn from its internals. Everything is well documented and easy to understand.
- Pure Objective-C — No Trade-offs: Sparrow is a pure Objective-C library that was built from ground up for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. Users can easily integrate it with their existing UIKit apps, access all iOS APIs directly (like GameCenter, iAds, Camera, ...) and benefit from native performance. Stop developing in a black box, and go for complete control.
- Amazing Performance, familiar API: Sparrow uses the same concepts and naming schemes as of Adobe™ Flash or Starling. Even if user is coming from a different background, they will get the hang of it quickly, because everything is designed to be as intuitive and easy to use as possible. And since all rendering is done through optimized OpenGL calls, Sparrow exposes the hardware's full potential. In other words: it's FAST.
- App Store proven, Community powered: Sparrow already powers a plethora of games in the App Store. It is backed up by a huge community providing tutorials, extensions, and a helping hand when someone is stuck. The Sparrow community is one of the most active and friendly community.
