We just pushed out a new beta release. There are a lot of small bug fixes and incremental changes in addition to integration with OpenSSL. The latter turned out to be a bit more involved than anticipated and wound up taking up a good chunk out of last week. There's more coming soon: we've been putting the framework through its paces with both internal and external projects. Of course, bug reports and feature requests are welcome as always.

In this article I’ll talk about the Moai dependency graph architecture and the action tree. There's a lot to discuss on the way to fully understanding the best way to do animation and manage game objects in Moai. Please bear with me through this fairly under-the-hood discussion of how Moai works - I'll show you how to use that knowledge to organize your animation data next time.

Looks like we had a bug sneak in when I added my Objective-C categories to support the iPhone project. I was aware of the linking problem with static libraries and categories, and the -ObjC linker flag appeared to fix the problem, at least in the environment I tested it in. Unfortunately, I've received bug reports from users and after testing it under Xcode 3 found the same - unrecognized selector in spite of the -ObjC linker flag.

We added some new features per forum requests. There's a preliminary version of MOAIImage; more to come. It's now possible to pad non power or 2 images to power of 2 on load. There's also a new event mix-in class to provide a more unified way to bind events to callbacks. Right now, only the action stop even is exposed, but more can be added; just send us your requests.

In this series of articles I'll give you an introduction to Moai and a quick tour of some of the nuts and bolts.
If you’re ready to take on the challenge of learning a more flexible and open framework then you presumably want better performance and/or the opportunity to customize and innovate, even down to writing custom assembly language if you need to. It can be a lot of work, but when you have a mission critical feature to ship or a performance hitch you have to fix, there’s nothing quite like having under-the-hood access to your system.
