Simple Palm Game

by Dylan Kelly · in Game Design and Creative Issues · 12/17/2006 (7:48 pm) · 1 replies

Hello,

I was wondering if Torque Game Builder is able to make games that are compatible with Palm? If so, heres my idea.

I plan to start small, to get the feel of making palm games. It will be a simple space trader game, where there are many different planets, and different planets sell different things at different prices. Your job is to make enough money to pay back your debts, which you needed to take care of after your father died. There will be five ships, with different cargo holds, fuel capacity, etc. There will also be space pirates and natural (and some un-natural) disasters to stop you from reaching your goal.

    TGB is a hardware accelerated 2D engine, so it's a bit more than you'd want on a Palm.
    There are free tools to get you started with Palm programming, though. I guess you should
    check with 3Com and find the architecture you're using, download SDKs and install a free
    compiler. I haven't done any Palm programming since the 680x0 days, so I'm not sure what's
    changed for the Arm based units. All documentation you need can be had for free, though.
