Sparrow - a new Open Source iPhone 2D game framework

Really needs PVRTC texture support. But I also have to add that it would be nice to see a C++ engine at some point. I'm not sure why people feel the need to write them in Obj-C.

Good news: Sparrow now has PVRTC texture support. It's not yet in the public release, but you can already get it via SVN.

It is purely Objective c, and games are written in xcode so yes it supports ALL objetive c stuff.

You can add OpenFeint, GameCenter, mix native stuff and add extra views over the game scene ([nobbc][self.nativeView addSubview:][/nobbc]), etc...


So to add add bluetooth multiplayer you'd just have to follow a tutorial like this as you would to do it in any other project, iPhone Bluetooth Programming .

(and i have used sparrow myself, but i'm not involved with it's development at all)
