So, I'm currently looking for an engine for 2D. I've tried Cocos2D but it's iOS only and I wouldn't like to rewrite everything into another language for Android (so, e.g. Java port of Cocos2d for Android is not an option). Instead, I want to write the code once and with least hassle deploy it on iOS, Android and possibly Windows Phone 7. I have both Mac and Windows.
Just to be more detailed, here are my requirements to the engine:
must be cross-platform
must be efficient
should be C++, Java, C# or Objective C since I'm comfortable with them and NOT Flash, Javascript, HTML5 since I am not a web developer
must have a large community, tutorials, additional libraries which cover most of the stuff you'd have when developing on iOS or Android directly (in-app billing, facebook etc.)
the final delivered package must be not too large
the engine can be free, but I also wouldn't mind paying a reasonable price
I've found the following engines:
Marmalade (and IwGame engine on top of it) - C++, found overall very positive reviews of Marmalade but not sure about IwGame. EDIT (March 2013): Looks like Marmalade SDK now includes Cocos2Dx and some in-built IDE which makes it much better (and costs $150 per year for indie dev which is ok with me).
Corona SDK - Lua (efficiency doubtful), also needs internet connection to compile code
Cocos2d-x - C++, received lots of reviews from developers, mostly positive and many think it's best for 2D
Particle code - Java+Eclipse, found no reviews or comments
Moai - Lua, coudn't find any reviews/opinions on it
Monkey engine - seems to have too few features
Haxenme - it's Flash, I've never used it and don't want to
use Unity3d but with 2D packages like 2D Toolkit
ports of SDL to Android (also here) and iOS - doesn't look to have much support or current development (?)
GLBasic - Basic language, I don't like it
playN - seems to be early in development (?)
Gamvas - HTML5, doesn't look like a mature engine to me
Ignifuga - Python, also doesn't look mature
ORX - not sure if it's still developed (?)
Construct 2 - reminds GameMaker, might be ok for rapid prototypes but definitely not for industry-level games
XNA and then port the game using ExEn (would need Mono Touch to port to iOS and Mono for Android to port to Android) - C#, and is probably more thought for folks coming from Microsoft products like xBox (I come from Android). Also, those Mono tools cost $800 in total for small developers
Impact - JavaScript, uses HTML5. I'm not much into JavaScript (e.g. preferred C# on Unity3d), also not sure about efficiency since it runs in the browser (?)
GameMaker - own scripting language GML and I actually remember this one as a tool for non-programmers. Has it actually grown into a real engine, I mean for serious development?
AppGameKit - C++, yet seems to be still pretty new. Haven't found any reviews on it
use Cocos2D and Objective C to develop for iOS only and then make an APK for Android out of it using Stella SDK. Has anyone done this? I'm pretty sure there will be limitations, and how about Google's in-app billing, AdMob and Facebook integration on Android?
Moscrif - JavaScript, looks like it's more for former web-developers
Starling - Flash 11, i'm not much into Flash
ND2D - not yet 1.0, does it have many features?
So, I'd be happy if you could comment from your experiences with the engines and suggest which one in the list (or anything else that I've missed) is the best for the described requirements. I also may be wrong with my first impressions about some of the engines.
I'm currently thinking of Marmalade+IwGame as the best option but since I don't have much info about Cocos2d-x and Particle code, I am not really sure about it.
Thank you!

The Expanding Role of Peptide Research in Modern Laboratories
canada peptides occupy an important position in contemporary scientific investigation because of their involvement in communication pathways throughout biological systems. Researchers study peptide activity in relation to signaling mechanisms that influence cellular behavior, protein interactions, immune response coordination, and tissue adaptation. These investigations often take place within tightly controlled laboratory environments where variables such as concentration, timing, environmental exposure, and molecular stability can be carefully monitored.
In many cases, canada peptides discussions within research communities emphasize the importance of laboratory standardization. Experimental consistency allows investigators to compare outcomes across studies and better understand how peptide structures interact with biological systems under controlled conditions. Scientific teams commonly integrate peptide compounds into multi-stage analytical protocols that include in vitro observation, molecular characterization, and cellular response evaluation.
Peptide studies frequently intersect with broader areas of regenerative biology. canada biogenix Researchers continue exploring how signaling molecules influence repair-associated processes, cellular maintenance pathways, and recovery-related biological responses. Because peptides participate in numerous physiological functions, their role within laboratory science extends across several disciplines, including molecular biology, biochemistry, pharmacological modeling, and tissue science.
canada biogenix and Scientific Investigation Frameworks
Within modern peptide research discussions, X peptide is often associated with the broader movement toward structured scientific evaluation and research-oriented peptide analysis. Laboratory frameworks designed around methodological consistency allow investigators to observe peptide behavior under controlled circumstances while maintaining analytical clarity throughout the experimental process.
Structured frameworks are particularly important in peptide science because biological systems can respond differently depending on environmental conditions, dosage variation, or molecular stability. Research environments therefore require careful procedural design to ensure that observations remain accurate and reproducible. Investigators working with peptide compounds commonly implement standardized preparation methods, calibrated measurement systems, and tightly monitored storage conditions to preserve experimental integrity.
