Review on SpriteBuilder by Jake Powell

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great tool that saves hours of coding and time

The main thing I like about spritebuilder it's ability to generate code for all major languages ( Objective C, Java ). It has many useful tools including level editor which makes building levels much easier than any other IDE when you don't know how things are done with Xcode or Flash Builder etc.. There could be some minor bugs here n there but they're mostly small issues compared what we can have from using flash builder so far everything seems perfect :). Sometimes generating classes/headers might not work as expected if your target language doesn’t support something needed by certain features e g reflection API sometimes fails even though class generated works fine -_-.

Pros
  • Easy integration between 3d game engines
  • Ability make games without coding experience at least in 2D part.
  • Good documentation & guides available online
  • Many tutorials outhere that teach programming through making simple platformers / shootem ups :)
Cons
  • Some weird problems may occur due lack knowledge.
  • Lack native mobile platforms compatibility
  • Not easy enough way create custom GUI
