A little guidance?

[Guest V0oD0o]

Hi all,

I would like to write a game for the SPV, I've never written software before, so I thought I would install the SDK and the WinCD embedded visual tools and see what I could see.

However, I just see emulators. :D

So, could someone point me in the direction of some stuff to read? I'm a web app programmer by trade so I understand the syntax and theory behind coding, I just need to read up on how to write software for this particular platform.

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Do a search on here and you'll find out a lot about Orange certification, i.e. you can't run any software on the phone until you have paid Orange $600.

You need to have installed Microsoft Embedded Visual Tools 3.0 and more specifically the Embedded Visual C++ 3.0 portion.

Then install the Smartphone SDK. After that go in and run Embedded Visual C++ and you should be away.

From the SDK you should have a heap of sample applications (although none seem to be games) in C:Windows CE Toolswce300Smartphone 2002sampleswin32 and the online help is an OK starting point. The Smartphone section is mostly overview about the hardware and design paradigm, but still a useful skim read.
