<p>This article describes the start of MJIN library separation into modules.</p>
<p>Once we built OpenSceneGraph for Android, it became obvious that some MJIN functionality is not suitable for Android. For example, UIQt provides a basis for OGS Editor UI. Since OGS Editor is a desktop application, we don't need UIQt for Android.</p>
<p>We decided to have a look at two approaches to separate MJIN into modules: build-time separation and run-time one. 
<strong>Build-time</strong> separation means MJIN becomes highly configurable and each platform gets specifically tailored MJIN build.. . .</p>

<p>This article describes how we spent a month building OpenSceneGraph (OSG) for Android: the first attempt to build OSG, the search for OSG alternatives, and the success in building OSG.</p>
<p><strong>First attempt to build OSG.</strong></p>
<p>Having no prior knowledge of Android development, we grabbed the latest Android Studio and started doing beginner tutorials. We passed Java part pretty fast. Everything worked out of the box. Then came C++ part and related problems.. . .</p>

<p>In this article, we take another look at 2015-2016 live sessions' format and introduce a new showcase format for 2017.</p>
<p><strong>2015 and 2016: live sessions.</strong></p>
<p>As you know, we use live sessions to show the state of our technology and create a small functional game from scratch. We have conducted four live sessions in the past year, which gave birth to the following small games:
<table>
<tr>
  <th><strong>№</strong></th>
  <th><strong>Created game</strong></th>
  <th><strong>Live session date</strong></th>. . .</p>

<p>Even though live session takes only a few hours, we devote a whole month to prepare for it. Let's have a look at live session stages in detail.</p>

<li><p><strong>Draft.</strong> Game creation for the first time.</p>
<p>Purposes:</p>
<ul>
<li>test our technologies and fix major bugs;</li>
<li>discover usability issues to fix in the next development iteration;</li>
<li>list exact steps to reproduce the game later;. . .</li></ul></li>

<p><strong>UIQt module</strong> is a collection of UI components backed by Qt. We only use it for Editor UI at the moment.</p>
<p>Here is a list of UIQt module components with their description and current code size:<table>
