Timesaver

Super fast incremental compilation - (~200 ms)

No loss during application recovery after compilation — it works just like before. Connection with the server remains active, a loaded level of a game doesn't go anywhere, and the interface a developer is working on doesn't remove the text entered beforehand. Apps that are already on devices don't need to be reinstalled after compilation. The app is installed automatically just as a livecoding session starts.

No need of additional frameworks for optimizing the speed of application assembly. Your code will be cleaner and the app architecture is much simpler. Less time is wasted on additional optimization during development.  

Mobile Development

COLT supports software development for iOS and Android. In order to put an application together you only need to set up assembly of a mobile app and click the “Run” button.

No restrictions

COLT is a separate tool. No particular IDE is required. You just save a code in your editor and then it's delivered into a working app. A time-proven standard Adobe MXMLC compiler is used. We just spiced it up with additional functionality for livecoding. Your projects will work in it just like before. Support of all win/mac/linux platforms

Teamwork

An app in a live session mode is network-available. COLT starts a web server able to deliver updates even if the app has been launched on another computer somewhere in the office. Several computers and devices at a time! As many people as you wish can be involved in testing, and all together you can correct mistakes as soon as they occur. No need to duplicate those - they will be seen right on the device. As soon as the developer alters the implementation, it immediately gets updated on all computers and devices.

Designers and programmers working together

Delivering images to a working device lets you make cooperation of the designer and programmer more efficient than ever. As soon as a new file is saved to replace the old one, it is sent to all active devices. The designer immediately sees what their work moves and looks like in a working app.

Simultaneous testing on various platforms

While developing, you can use a special stand with different versions of smartphones, tablets and computer OS'. This approach speeds up multiplatform apps development.
