    Our best bet for this is Avian, it can be used with OpenJDK and should allow cross-compiling monkey java apps to iOS, just the renderer would have to be written in C.

    I was curious if anyone has given Avian a shot.

    Is is a lot of work to write the renderer in C ?

    Yeah, I did.. Thats why I said its our best bet. Writing a renderer for OpenGLES using JNI should not be hard, depending on your C skills.. Basically you can just copy the code of the current android java renderer to C.
