Some notes on game development for various portable platforms. Quotes below from Wikipedia unless otherwise noted.

Palm OS

  • Interface: touchscreen
  • Development tools include "CASL, AppForge Crossfire (which uses C#) and Handheld Basic or HB++ (which uses Visual Basic)... A Java Run time Environment is also available for the Palm OS platform, however it isn't shipped as standard on non-Treo[s]" and Plua, which requires an additional runtime to be installed.
    • Garnet, Cobalt
    "Palm OS Garnet applications are primarily coded in C/C++. There's an open source compiler tool chain prc-tools, based on an old gcc. PRC-Tools lacks several of CodeWarrior's features... a version is included in the Palm OS Developer Suite (PODS). OnBoardC is a C compiler that runs on the Palm itself." Wikipedia 1
    "Palm OS Cobalt applications are coded in a variation of gcc, but the compilers have fewer limitations."

PPC platforms

Treo
