01 August 2011

Costa Mesa, CA (01 August, 2011) – Jenkins Software announced today that RakNet has advanced networking support for the Marmalade SDK. Marmalade allows developers of iOS and Android applications to write their applications entirely in high performance C++.

“We’re delighted that RakNet has integrated their support services with the Marmalade SDK. Large numbers of developers are choosing Marmalade for their cross-platform development projects and the RakNet integration is another exciting extension to the Marmalade solution” said Tim Closs, CTO of Marmalade.

“I'm impressed that Marmalade is able to build on RakNet's features despite the size and scope of our product”, said Kevin Jenkins, president of Jenkins Software, RakNet’s developer. “C++ is the best development language for games, and bringing that to mobiles is a fantastic achievement. ”

The integration code with RakNet is freely downloadable for evaluation and available through http://www.raknet.com/marmalade.html. Users can evaluate Marmalade through http://www.madewithmarmalade.com/.
