By: Pocketeers Limited AppEasy is a new way to develop games and apps for mobile devices that does not require learning traditional complicated programming languages, SDK's and other tools, placing app development into the hands of ordinary people. AppEasy accomplishes this using a simple HTML-style mark-up language called XOML (Note that AppEasy is not an HTML 5 solution) . Users can create apps and games quickly and easily by drag and dropping XOML files, images, audio and other files onto the AppEasy project manager. Users then test their app in real-time on a Windows based simulator. Users can also use one button deployment to deploy apps directly to an Android / iOS device that is plugged into a USB port or to deploy a final build that can be submitted to Apple and Android App stores for sale. For the seasoned developer AppEasy provides additional advanced XOML features such as variables, programs, events, actions, data bindings and Lua scripting. AppEasy's feature set includes: * Cross platform – Write a game or app once and deploy to iPhone, iPad and Android * Test on PC - Built in Windows simulator that allows testing and tweaking on a PC * Device Deployment from PC – Single click deploy to iOS / Android phones and tablets simultaneously to test on actual hardware * Deploy for Store on PC – Single click deploy for Apple App Store, Google Play, Amazon App Store and other stores simultaneously and directly from PC * Simple Mark-up Language – The basics of the XOML language is so incredibly easy to learn that even a child can learn it. XOML enables rapid prototyping and production. * No SDK's or IDE's required - Apps can be put together using any text editor (even notepad) * Advanced features – Advanced features available for seasoned developers or the more adventurous developer Support for Lua – Enhance apps and games using built in Lua scripting * Monetisation - Built in ad and in-app purchase support * Tonnes of features – XOML and additional Lua support cover a large range of features for game and application development What can be made with AppEasy?
