Re: Development of simple gamess for maemo and iphone (ipod touch)
Hi, I think of programming some little applications (strategic games as kalaha) for maemo. I would love to compile (nearly) the same source for the ipod touch (or the iphone) later. I have some experience with the maemo plattform (VNC viewer) but only read some general articles about iphone development. Is there any body who ported a maemo app to iphone, or who knows how to be prepared. Not porting a Maemo app, but (cross-)developing for multiple platforms including these. iPhone OS is a unix variant, so you should be able to share C code related to your own algorithms (of course), network, and file system as long as you don't need to access system files or share files with other applications (it's neither possible nor permitted). The GUI is programmed in Objective C, an object-oriented superset of C, easy to learn. Libraries aren't compatible with Mac's. Begin with the free Xcode environment + emulator on Mac OS X. Then you need to pay 100 USD/year to run applications on your own iPhone or iPod touch and 100 other devices for tests, and to distribute them on the App Store. Read the documentation and play with the available sample applications, to make sure that what you intend to do is possible. Get used to the user interface by loading free applications available on the App Store. The differences with desktop GUIs are much more important than for Maemo. I'm not sure GPL is incompatible with iPhone applications now that the Apple NDA has been relaxed. With your own code, of course, you do what you want. The only multiplatform development environment which could be considered for both Maemo and iPhone is Javascript, afaik.

Re: Development of simple gamess for maemo and iphone (ipod touch)
Hi, the first thing you should do is to read a little bit about the licenses involved. SHort version: Most maemo software comes under GPL which requires yyou to not limit redistribution. The iphone shop limits redistribution. So a port of an existing app will likely cause licensing issues.

Re: Development of simple gamess for maemo and iphone (ipod touch)
Hi, sure, I was thinking of porting my own code! To be more exact, I would like to distribute my code (with no forain GPL code involved) under GPL for maemo and commerial for the ipod touch!
