Design and build your UI quickly and efficiently using the QML dev tools. Drag and drop components into the editor and preview changes on the fly using the QML Preview.
BlackBerry 10 supports literally dozens of open source and cross-platform frameworks. Leverage your existing code and bring it to an entirely new user base, with minimal effort.
Take advantage of the power and speed of the QNX Neutrino RTOS to propel your game to the next level. Integrate powerful gaming libraries like Unity and Marmalade, or add a social dimension to your games using Scoreloop.
