   Programming FOR a cellphone ON a cellphone?
  http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=427077^^The above thread was retired.^^I'm looking for a compiler or IDE that runs ON a cellphone and can be used FOR programming cellphone games.BEFORE THE FLAMES BEGIN (LOL) let me explain;I know a cellphone is not designed to do this. I know a PC/MAC/Desktop is MUCH better suited for this. I don't care.Any language (C++, JAVA, even good old BASIC or assembly if I have to).I don't have access to a full size computer, but I have my cellphone with me ALL THE TIME, so I want to be able to do some programming on it.  Nothing fancy. I know I won't be doing 3D games, but simple Tetris or Pacman or Space Invaders type games (think Atari 2600) should be OK.Does anyone know of a free (or cheap) compiler/IDE that will run on a cellphone. I currently have a Motorola Q9C, but I'll be trading it in soon. I wasn't really wanting to get an iPhone, but if that's my only option for this, then I will.  I've read a little about Nokia phones being able to do some of this.Any and all suggestions are appreciated.Thanks!noSpam__infinitum3d@hotmail.com__noSpam[Edited by - infinitum3d on May 6, 2010 11:16:17 AM]
  Are you going to t9 10,000 lines of code?Sorry but no, this isn't a reasonable request :P   ;  What about getting a cellphone that support VNC, and then using that to do compiling on a remote PC and transferring it to the phone via a web server?   ;  Thanks for the quick replies.Quote:Atrix256 Are you going to t9 10,000 lines of code?Sorry but no, this isn't a reasonable request :P No. I have a full keyboard on my phone. If it takes 10,000 lines of code, so be it. I'm not in any hurry. But games like Space Invaders and Tetris don't take 10,000 lines.Quote:What about getting a cellphone that support VNC, and then using that to do compiling on a remote PC and transferring it to the phone via a web server?I guess I wasn't clear enough, so I apologize. I don't have access to a PC. I guess I could buy a cheap one, set it up at home, and just access it through my cellphone with Gooer or something like that.  Which VNC do you recommend?Thanks again. Any other ideas?~I3D   ;  There used to be minimal development environments for the Palm OS.But other than that, I don't think what you want exists, except maybe for very specific phones (certainly not the iPhone, unless you jailbroke it).   ;  I'm reading up on LUA, which seems good in theory, but I can't find a compiled version to run on my current phone (Moto q9c). Lua for Windows and it's modules all depend on the MSVC++ 2005 runtime library, which I can't install on a phone.http://code.google.com/p/luaforwindows/   ;  Lua is written in portable C so it should compile onto any platform which has a C compiler. If you'r getting an iPhone or an iPod Touch, it's dead simple to make an app which allows u to make Lua programs, u can use the default text editor widget. Good Luck!-ddn   ;  Can't you make apps on android phones using ASE?   ;  I have been using light basic on my HTC Desire (android) for a few days.. lol it takes quite a while to type up even simple programs (and light basic can only be used for pretty simple programs). If you are looking to do this for fun in your spare time, then go for it. But if you are looking for anything even remotely serious, then just buy a cheap computer. You can get a pretty decent computer for the same price or less as a good phone.   ;  Thanks guys! Light Basic on the android may be what I'm after.Quote:If you are looking to do this for fun in your spare time, then go for it. That's exactly it. I have fifteen or twenty minutes down time here and there throughout the day, and so its really just for fun and practice.Quote:But if you are looking for anything even remotely serious, then just buy a cheap computer.If I had ANY time at home to do it, I would, but all I do is sleep and eat there, and rarely either of those. I'm always out.Thanks again for the tips. I have alot to run with now.~I3D
