Simple example showing crossplatform game development

[edh]

I took some time this weekend to blog about developing a simple cross-platform game for GP2X and Windows Mobile.

For GE veterans, this example is too simple. The goal is to expose GE as a good alternative for cross-platform development on handhelds vs hand coding a new engine or buying some of the expensive cross-platform libraries.

I really like Game Editor, and I'd like to see it grow and support more devices.

one of the main reasons I bought GE was because of my Pocket PC I wanted to bring to life

I believe there used to be ( and probably still is) an emulator that allowed you to test win mobile software on a PC - in a window.

as if it was actually running on a win mobile platform.

The question is, is there anything similar for the GP2X platforms ?

if so, I think, more people would get into programming for the device ? ( sorry I don't know much about it..)

BTW very nice work on the turorial.

It was my pleasure. Turned out a little longer than I expected. I'm glad you liked it.

Will Game-Editor ever some day be compatible with an ipod touch? =D It could use finger down rather than mouse down events XD Oh and very nice tutorial, you must have spent alot of time on it!

Finger down(touch) and mouse button down(works as touch on the DS emulators) are exactly the same thing.
Maks(makslane) don't need to add a new event or edit the mouse button down(if the games are made with windows)because mouse button and finger down works with the same function. thank you.
