What would you do if you coded a C++/OO cross-platform framework and realize its laying on your disk
- by Manuel
This project started as a development platform because i wanted to be able to write games for mobile devices, but also being able to run and debug the code on my desktop machine too (ie, the EPOC device emulator was so bad): the platforms it currently supports are:
Window-desktop
WinCE
Symbian
iPhone
The architecture it's quite complete with 16bit 565 video framebuffer, blitters, basic raster ops, software pixel shaders, audio mixer with shaders (dsp fx), basic input, a simple virtual file system... although this thing is at it's first write and so there are places where some refactoring would be needed.
Everything has been abstracted away and the guiding principle are:
mostly clean code, as if it was a book to just be read
object-orientation, without sacrifying performances
mobile centric
The idea was to open source it, but without being able to manage it, i doubt the software itself would benefit from this move.. Nevertheless, i myself have learned a lot from unmaintained projects.
So, thanking you in advance for reading all this... really, what would you do?
