Today we are officially announcing that Illumination Software Creator now fully supports building Android applications.
If you’re new around here, here’s the skinny on Illumination Software Creator:
Illumination Software Creator allows anyone who can use a mouse to create their own software for a wide variety of platforms (including Linux, Windows, MacOS X, Adobe Flash/Flex websites, N810/N900 Tablets and now… Android). No programming experience necessary; Illumination is 100% visual and incredibly easy to learn.
The new Android support is being made available as a “Developer Preview” today as part of Illumination 2.1 Beta 3. We are calling it “Developer Preview” as the newer graphics functionality added in version 2.1 and text file handling are not yet fully supported for Android builds. These features will be included in the final release of Illumination Software Creator 2.1, scheduled for the end of this month.
Downloads:
Illumination 2.1 Beta 3 for Linux
Illumination 2.1 Beta 3 for Windows
Illumination 2.1 Beta 3 for MacOS X
You can grab the Tutorial and example projects from over on RadicalBreeze.com and you can talk with other Illumination users over on the official forum.
And, just so everyone is aware, our “Name Your Own Price Sale” ends Wednesday at midnight. So now’s your last chance to pick up Illumination before it returns to its normal price.
Android support requires the Android SDK (and Eclipse) be installed: More information can be found here. Be sure to read the “IlluminationReadMe.txt” file that is created when you build your projects for Android. It includes notes to help get you up and running testing out your new Android application.
Just to reiterate. Illumination can build standalone applications for the following platforms… all from the same visual project… without writing a single line of code.
- Android (Java)
- Windows, Linux, MacOS X (Python)
- Nokia N900, N810 (Python)
- Flash Rich Websites (Adobe Flex)
- Haiku (C++) [Coming Soon]
No extra runtime-libraries or virtual machines required. Illumination generates to raw source code for each platform so that the resulting applications are small and fast.
That right there? Awesome.

I got 4 dollars in cad left in my paypal so I’m going to give you that….I feel like a cheapo though on the fact that this software deserves much more than that. I would give more if I could Byran.
