Open Source iOS Game Engine Sparrow Updates To 1.1

Just in case anyone is not familiar with it, the Sparrow Framework is an open source iPad and iPhone game engine that I have mentioned in the past, and used to create the beginner’s action game programming tutorial.  I feel that Sparrow is the easiest open source game engine out there to get a handle on for beginners which has already been used in several games in the app store.
