I have been working as an Android programmer for 3 months already, NDK is enough for work for applications, but recently decided to make my own game, without difficulty. I started to do it, and a problem appeared, the graphics turned out to be too heavy, and there was a need to use the framework`a. One comrade advised Starling to me, he worked with him, and he really liked him. But Starling works in Flash, and it's no secret to anyone that this is a dying technology. So, which framework is better to choose? Of course, I heard and read about libGDX, Cocos 2D, etc. , but someone praises, someone does not, maybe someone will tell the best framework for performance, low threshold of entry, etc. I know Java, if the framework will work entirely on it, then it’s good, and if not, then I don’t mind learning a new programming language.

If the question can be reformulated according to the rules set out in the certificate , edit it .

I used LibGDX. For simple games I advise it. Although it is possible to create complex games.

Lode Runner and Bomberman I wrote on it. Simple engine. If interested, I fumbled the Bomberman's powers completely. If you need tutorials, then here , a couple of my articles on the engine.

    I liked Shiva. For 2d / 3d is the most for games.

      I chose Corona SDK for myself, thank you all!
