Marmalade SDK
Development kit and game manager for windows
Marmalade SDK is a software product designed primarily for creating games and applications on mobile devices. Its distinctive feature is cross-platform in the sense that the development is supported for devices running different systems. In other words, by writing the code only once, it can be used on all platforms without any changes. This feature allows you to significantly expand the audience that uses your product, and therefore - to increase the profit.
Using the Marmalade SDK, the developer gets his hands on a wide range of "valuable" tools. The program has a unique architecture that provides direct access to the processor and graphics core. This, in turn, allows you to maximize the performance of the application you are developing. Marmalade SDK also has an emulator, which allows you to test a written program by selecting a specific model of the device and the format of its screen. It supports interaction with all elements of mobile devices - camera, microphone, accelerometer, GPS module. Besides, this development environment allows you to use C/C++ code to create applications.
Marmalade SDK allows cross-platform mobile game development, increasing audience reach and enhancing performance.
