Possibilities of Processing

marco

Hi. My question is about the possibilities of developing a game in Processing that can be sold at Play Store. That is, 1) Does anyone know if exists a commercial game developed in Processing?, 2) What are the limitations of Processing?, 3) Can anyone give me any tips? Thanks.

question 2

short answer: it depends.

When you go for a game like checkers or tetris or snake, or jump'n'run: Yes. All 2D is great. No limitations. Although, processing is low level. There is no sprite management or whatever.

When you go for a first person shooter (FPS) or advanced 3D stuff... I'd hesitate... Limitations in frame rate...

you might consider a special game environment : switch to a 3D engine (Unity, Unreal, etc.)

question 3:

quarks has some librarys afaik
