   PocketPC development yay
  Recently I have become the proud owner of a GPS-powered PocketPC so tonight I downloaded VC++ Embedded and PocketPC SDK from Microsoft, to see if I could do some game programming on this little yet powerful device. I can tell you I got more than I hoped for.First, the whole thing is absolutely free and you get a complete VC++ IDE (with all the functionality you are used to from VC6/7), tools, documentation, emulator and so on. I fired it up and wrote the obvious "Hello, world!" application, which compiled and ran in the emulator on the first attempt. I activesynced it into my PocketPC and saw it was GOOD.I never have been part of this anti-Microsoft movement, but tonight I feel like hugging Bill for this great toolset. I definitely will look further into PcoketPC game development as far as I see it now.Just wanted to share my joy with you 
  Yay! GAPI hugh?  ;  Cool. My programming instructor is making a .net app that lets him check off student assignments/presence using his PocketPC wirelessly. ;quote:Original post by HaywireGuy  Yay! GAPI hugh?   Yay! Direct Framebuffer access!*gasp* gimme some Kleenex.
