Android游戏引擎Rokon宣布停止更新

作为Android游戏引擎之一的Rokon,经过长久的沉寂后,突然于近日在其项目页面宣布未来将终止后续版本更新,以下为原文及翻译。

 

项目地址:http://code.google.com/p/rokon/

 

原文:

Hello all. Unfortunately, my web host has corrupted the rokonandroid.com database, and it is irretrievable. There are no recent backups.

I am unable to commit any real amount of time, as I am focussed on my final year at university. I have lectures, a Masters project, PhD and job applications, a girlfriend, and generally other more important things to do!

It's unlikely that - without someone else doing it for me, the website will come back any time soon. I haven't been able to update the code lately either (you may have noticed this) so assume that the latest trunk is the finished 2.1.0 version. I will (hopefully) get around to packaging this up as a download soon.

For now, I hope you can find all the help you need here. Other engines are being updated more frequently, I'd suggest you try the other open source alternatives. If you aren't afraid of doing some coding work to achieve top performance, and great features - give libgdx a go. I'd say it's the best thing out there. If you're after an easier, more Rokon like experience, try AndEngine.

Both of these projects have been actively worked on for the past few months - unlike Rokon - so I hope you find what you need!

大家好。现在有个非常不幸的消息要通知大家,我的rokonandroid.com网站遭到了无法挽回的数据库崩溃,而且在近期没有备份。

再者,我已经没有时间去干这档事了,我需要全神贯注去应付我的大学最后一年,要去听讲座,要完成硕士课题,要准备读博还有找工作,况且我还有女朋友,很多比这个项目更加重要的事情还等着我去做。

继续下去已不可能——因为没有别人来代替我。但是,在不久的将来网站还是会进行更新,现今项目中所包含的并非最新代码(您可能已经注意到这一点),我会将它更新到2.1.0的最终版本,并且尽快提供打包下载(希望如此)。

现在,我希望我在这里的建议能对您有所帮助。虽然Rokon不在了,却还有很多其它引擎在坚持更新,您可以试试用别的开源项目来取代Rokon。如果您不在乎复杂的编码,并且追求最佳的性能与效果,那么——去找libgdx吧,我认为它是目前最好的东西。如果您需要更为简单的实现,并且喜欢Rokon那样的用户体验,则可以玩玩AndEngine。

这两个项目在过去的几个月里一直相当活跃——不会像Rokon这样半途而废——也由衷希望,您最终能找到您所需要的!

哎,一个非常好的开源项目就此凋零,不禁令人扼腕。

 

PS:将来有时间的话,以Rokon做基础做个后续项目好了,不过那要等自己的项目基本稳定后再说……
