Re: [Tuxmath-devel] Introduction for GSOC-Project Tux4Kids Mobile

Hi,

They went well, thanks :) Anyway, I think doing all platforms isn't
necessary, but it's a definite plus. What I meant by my earlier mail is
that it's best if you:

   1. Create an abstraction layer between game code (C) and system-specific
   code (Java for Android; Objective-C for iOS) if you're going down the
   compiled route, so that it's trivial for a person who does have a Mac to
   port it there without having to start anew. Or:
   2. You could use a cross platform game development framework like
   Google's PlayN library (Java) or as others have mentioned, NML/Haxe or
   JavaScript coupled with some scaffolding code.

Aviral Dasgupta.
