  Hi all,
  
  I’ve been researching the "casual games" paradigm, and have come across the following SDK’s.
  
  If anyone has used any of these (or heard strong recommendations in favour or against) please post accordingly.
  
  Playground SDK: (C++ and Lua)

  PopCap SDK: (C++, registration required)
  http://developer.popcap.com/forums/pop_downloads.php
  
  Android SDK: (Java)
  http://code.google.com/android/
  
  GameMaker SDK: (GML, C++ – like syntax)
  http://www.yoyogames.com/gamemaker
  
  This seems to be a growth sector, and so I thought I would get the ball rolling by starting a thread.
