Android NDK Update Targets Game Developers

In the latest sign of Google looking to make Android a stronger gaming platform, the company has introduced a new version of its native development kit for Android 2.3 Gingerbread that allows developers to build or port apps written entirely in C and C++ programming languages.

A wide variety of video games and game engines have already been written in these languages, and in a blog post tonight, Google is specifically touting the ease by which they can be modified for Android.

We worked hard to increase the utility of the NDK for this release because you guys, the developers who are actually out there making the awesome applications, told us you needed it.
