Hello all,

I’m a new user and I’m evaluating Monkey 2 to develop games on Android (and Windows), it was a big surprise to find Monkey 2 because I’ve never heard about it, I have found this place by pure luck!

I’m currently developing with Hollywood-MAL, I’ve several projects running, some of them very big and complex, but as I said I’m looking for something different for the Android target.

I’ve also tried Cerberus X which seems nice too, but from what I’ve read it is a continuation of the first Monkey project, is that right? I’m a bit confused sorry, Monkey, Monkey X, Monkey 2, Cerberus X…

Anyway I’m an old-school programmer, coming from the Amiga years (AMOS, Blitz and a bit of assembler), I’ve purchased and used BlitzMax on Windows and I’d like to try out Monkey 2 which seems to have a great potential.

Can someone point me to some Android games developed and published for Android? Before starting to grasp on the language I’d like to investigate a bit more

Ok, that’s all

Happy coding to all and a big thank to Mark Sibly for all his work on programming languages

Welcome Fabio

Monkey and Monkey X are pretty much the same, with Cerberus X picking up from where Monkey X left off.
Monkey 2 is completely new and written from scratch.

I sadly can’t point you in the direction of any Android projects, but they’re out there! heh

Revenge star is an Android game made in Monkey 2.

There is at least one: Revengestar from Playniax: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.playniax.revengestar

Made with Monkey 2. There will be more I’m sure and I will do some as well.

Monkey, Monkey X, Monkey 2, Cerberus X…

Cerebus X is a 3rd party ‘fork’ of Monkey X (which was originally called Monkey). It is AFAIK completely compatible with Monkey X.

Monkey2 is the ‘sequel’ to Monkey X. It should be fairly familiar and easy to pick up for users of Monkey X but it is not compatible.

The only android project I know of that has been written in Monkey2 so far is revengestar: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.playniax.revengestar

For the most part, but if you have any “monkey://” paths, you must rename them to “cerberus://”.

Hi and thank you all for all the feedback!

I will try to convert one of my projects to Monkey 2, just to start to learn the language
