Ok as you very well know makslane , windows phone7 series is comming out. Now it feature different interface and wont be backward compatible with windows mobile. Do you plan on making Game Editor compatible with it? If you do that would be great and you sell more Game Editor units. Plus you be ahead of the curb with major developers wanting your product. I hope you been working on it, I rather use Game Editor than learn something else.

Ok windows phone7 games and apps will be written in NET. Is game editor going to be compatible with that? XNA and Silverlight through visaul studios is only development tools that are avalible now. Have you found any new information Makslane?

If the Windows Phone 7 only runs .Net apps, we have a problem.

Ok have you found any more info on windows phone7 compatibility. The reason I keep bringing it up is because if we get the 1st jump on it then we can sell games and make good money on the new platform. Even with the new bin that you made for windows mobile doesnt work on HD2. Now windows phone 7 is for now running only net . NetCompactframework4.0 which is on visaul studios 2010. I tried to use it but for some reason it wont catch keys on my computer. I went to the toolbox but it wont let me select keys or cursor.
Is there any more info you have on it? I search the internet for more info and post it here. What exactly do you need to know?

Trust me its alot of fake stuff going on here that whole device was modded. Its not in original form , only iphone has multi-touch. Windows phone7 will have multi-touch.
Makslane if you had the ROM build of windows phone7 would it make it easier?

The engine must be ported to MSIL (the output code of a .Net language).
The LLVM have a backend thats support MSIL.
So I think can be possible to port Game Editor to execute on Windows Phone 7, but I don't know the amout of work need to make this job.

Where you able to find any developers to work on it? Yes it does seem like a huge task , probaly impossible at this point. Alright well at least we know before hand that probaly too much work. What compilers do you know export NET. games and apps besides visual basics.

My best bet is to use the LLVM to compile the Game Editor for MSIL (.Net)
