RapaNui
 URL : https://github.com/ymobe/rapanui
 Price : Free
 Platforms : Moai
RapaNui is a high-level Moai-only library that sits on top of the Moai SDK and offers easy-to-use
syntax, similar to that of Corona SDK. While in Moai it would take a couple of lines of code to load
and display an image on the screen, with RapaNui it takes literally a line of code.
Sample Code
ball = RNFactory.createImage("ball.png")
ball.x = 10
ball.y = 10
Gideros Illustrator (SVG Library)
 URL : http://go.to/gideros-illustrator
 Price : Free
 Platforms : Gideros Studio
If you create your designs with Adobe Illustrator or a similar app, you can make much crisper
graphics and art than with scaled bitmaps. This library works with Gideros Studio and can currently
parse SVG files exported from Adobe Illustrator. Currently this library is free and has functions that
facilitate working with vector graphics. You can load SVG images and render them to the device
using just one line of code. The graphic shown in Figure 13-6 is drawn using vector objects in
Gideros with the help of the SVG library.
