Palm OS?

by Nicolai Dutka · in Torque Game Builder · 11/28/2007 (1:54 pm) · 3 replies

Can I port a TGB game to work on Palm OS for use with cell phones, smartphones, PDA's, etc? If so, is this functionality included, or do I need more software and which?

Thanks!

The footprint for TGB is high for such devices and the requirements are for 3D hardware enabled machines. You would have to write a separate platform layer for Palm devices and do some major heavy lifting on the core engine to strip it down to Palm requirements.

So would you say I'd be better off writing my own proprietary game engine? (Anticipating sequels of course :P )

Most likely in this case, yes. There are a lot of middleware libraries and API's available for the Palm, or at least they have come and gone over the years. But I'm not sure about any of them as they're outside of my devscope, usually.
