Is there *any* hope of getting a 3DGS version running on Compact Framework, or mobile devices?
Software rendering is perfectly fine.
I would love to take the mobile code published by the company I work for (written by me) and add a simple 2D scroll/pan floorplan with clickable objects.
Not to mention the mobile app market is exploding with growth right now.
I'm interested in running on the WinMobile platform.

I tried this about a year ago via the C# wrapper. I think if you have enough knowledge to convert parts of the wrapper from the standard framework to the compact one, you should be able to get it running on a mobile device I think.

I'm just guessing though

You still need the acknex.dll which will not work in ARM 6-7-8-9-11 processors that windows phones use.

Quadraxas, do you have to kill all the hope

no there is still hope, i think porting the engine to windows mobile wouldnot be too hard for jcl.

probably porting lite-c would be a bit harder though. it would need an arm backend.

the is still c-script as your saviour.

I agree.
It would probably have to be compiled to MSIL as the final "code".
Then at run-time, the JIT compiler (on device) would produce the correct native machine code targeting that device.

To answer the original question: A Gamestudio version for mobile devices is planned, but won't be based on Compact Framework. The Windows version doesn't use NET Framework either.
