For the first time, Holger and myself will attend the conference. We're very excited about this! I hope we'll meet many users of Starling and Flox there, and maybe... http://gamua.com/blog/2013/01/starling-13 http://gamua.com/blog/2013/01/starling-13 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0100 Daniel A new year has started — it's about time that our little Starling bird was updated to the next version, to show off all that it has learned over the past months! 2012 has been an amazing year for our little bird. I'm especially happy to see how the community... http://gamua.com/blog/2012/11/hungry-hero-goes-open-source http://gamua.com/blog/2012/11/hungry-hero-goes-open-source Mon, 12 Nov 2012 00:00:00 +0100 Daniel Do you remember the great series of video tutorials Starting with Starling that I mentioned a while ago? In the course of this tutorial, Hemanth Sharma showed you how to create the game Hungry Hero from start to finish. Now, Hemanth went one step further: the game is now available... http://gamua.com/blog/2012/10/incredipede http://gamua.com/blog/2012/10/incredipede Mon, 29 Oct 2012 00:00:00 +0100 Holger Hello Starlingers, we at Gamua get the belly butterflies every time we see a new game based on one of our frameworks and we tend to subsequently fill the office with Uuhh's, Awww's & Cool's. (Yes, we play games at work.) Today I'd like to direct your attention to a... http://gamua.com/blog/2012/09/happy-birthday-starling http://gamua.com/blog/2012/09/happy-birthday-starling Fri, 21 Sep 2012 00:00:00 +0200 Holger Everybody cheer! Today is our red birds first official birthday! I must admit that this took us a little by surprise just yesterday: We knew it had to be some time this month, but where not exactly sure when. Fortunately there is evidence in our archive of relatively useless screenshots.... http://gamua.com/blog/2012/09/starlingmvc http://gamua.com/blog/2012/09/starlingmvc Thu, 20 Sep 2012 00:00:00 +0200 Daniel During the last months and weeks, we noticed (with great pleasure!) that Starling is transforming from a mere framework to the center of a whole ecosystem of libraries and tools. Here is a short overview, to name just the most popular ones: Feathers (formerly know as Foxhole) provides a great... http://gamua.com/blog/2012/08/starling-12 http://gamua.com/blog/2012/08/starling-12 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 00:00:00 +0200 Daniel During the last months, our little red bird has gained a lot of traction. A great number of games have been published, including ones from major studios like Zynga. You can now learn Starling via online video courses. Heck, the bird even showed up on several development summits! Still, it... http://gamua.com/blog/2012/07/learn-starling-with-online-video-courses http://gamua.com/blog/2012/07/learn-starling-with-online-video-courses Thu, 12 Jul 2012 00:00:00 +0200 Daniel As with every new technology, the hardest part is getting started: installing the right tools, getting used to the new workflows, finding your way around in the API. This process is much simpler when you know somebody who has been there before, somebody to look over the shoulder to see... http://gamua.com/blog/2012/06/the-starling-roadmap http://gamua.com/blog/2012/06/the-starling-roadmap Tue, 05 Jun 2012 00:00:00 +0200 Daniel It's hard to believe, but at this date one year ago, not a single line of code had been written for Starling. It did not even have a name yet - it was just an idea, featuring lots of question marks and some wishful thinking. And look where we are... http://gamua.com/blog/2012/05/starling-11 http://gamua.com/blog/2012/05/starling-11 Mon, 07 May 2012 00:00:00 +0200 Daniel During the weeks after the "1.0" release, our Starling didn't think about slowing down or relaxing; on the contrary, he made some excessive flight-training and has learned several cool new tricks! Thus, without further ado: we present to you, the Starling Framework: version 1.1! Multi-Resolution Development With AIR 3.2 out... http://gamua.com/blog/2012/04/introducing-the-starling-wiki http://gamua.com/blog/2012/04/introducing-the-starling-wiki Wed, 11 Apr 2012 00:00:00 +0200 Daniel The new Gamua homepage has now been online for a while, but it lacked an area where the Starling community could organize itself; a dynamic place to collect and showcase all kinds of information. A place like that is now finally available! It's the Starling Wiki. What is the Starling... http://gamua.com/blog/2012/03/how-to-deploy-ios-apps-to-the-iphone-via-the-command-line http://gamua.com/blog/2012/03/how-to-deploy-ios-apps-to-the-iphone-via-the-command-line Wed, 14 Mar 2012 00:00:00 +0100 Holger In a productive development environment it's usually a good idea to think about the automation of recurring processes like compiling, testing and deploying development code to test devices. For iOS apps this becomes a pain as soon as you develop outside Xcode: That's why this article explains how to deploy... http://gamua.com/blog/2012/03/powered-by-logos http://gamua.com/blog/2012/03/powered-by-logos Mon, 05 Mar 2012 00:00:00 +0100 Holger Good news everyone, I just finished the official "Powered By" badges for the birds! They are available in the standard bright side colors and in a dark side fashion for those who like to paint it black.

As the new logo clearly indicates, our young bird has left the eggshell and is looking for adventures in the real world! But that's not all: at the beginning of this... http://gamua.com/blog/2012/02/new-website-launched http://gamua.com/blog/2012/02/new-website-launched Tue, 28 Feb 2012 00:00:00 +0100 Holger Good news everyone: It's done! The new website is online and it went live in almost perfect sync with the Adobe AIR 3.2 RC release. Is this a coincidence? ;-) Well ... it's not! Daniel and I have been working on the new website for several weeks now and had... http://gamua.com/blog/2012/02/angry-birds-powered-by-starling-framework http://gamua.com/blog/2012/02/angry-birds-powered-by-starling-framework Tue, 14 Feb 2012 00:00:00 +0100 Holger Hello everyone, we have big news … again! Rovio’s facebook port of their incredibly successful smash hit Angry Birds went online today and it is based on Sparrow’s brother – the Starling Framework! All you facebookers absolutely need to check it out right now!

I think it's time that I give all of you an update of what has been going on and, more importantly, what will be happening in the coming weeks and months. Gamua The most important news first:... http://gamua.com/blog/2011/09/say-hello-to-the-starling-framework http://gamua.com/blog/2011/09/say-hello-to-the-starling-framework Wed, 21 Sep 2011 00:00:00 +0200 Daniel Hi folks, I've got some busy weeks behind me, working hard on Sparrow's new sibling, the Starling Framework. I already hinted that a new project is in the works in the Cocos2D Podcast, and some forum members might have read some mysterious remarks on that topic, too. Well, I'm excited...
