• This is a multi-platform based solution for >= 5 platforms, based on Java and proposed by Google/GWT team.
• Home page http://code.google.com/p/playn/wiki/GettingStarted
• Deployment seems very easy and from our experience it really is!

Learning

• The usual guide is very good: http://code.google.com/p/playn/wiki/GettingStarted
• I had to instal maven 3 from source in ubuntu 11.10
• Para mudar o tamanho da janela do jogo, tem que editar o backend de cada plataforma para inserir codigo especifico

Notes

• To deploy to Google app engine (GAE)
  • It is important to indicate an available GAE SDK (usually behind the official)
  • When following the instructions in http://code.google.com/p/playn/wiki/GettingStarted, it may be necessary to run mvn install first prior to the mvn -f html/pom.xml gae:run

Developing PlayN itself / Using latest libs

• download playn from git
• inside playn type

mvn compile
mvn install

• then repeat this for react and tripleplay
• to use these development snapshots into your project, make sure to update the playn version in the pom.xml
• you can check that the latest version is available by looking into your local repo like so:

cd ~/.m2
find . -name '*playn*'
