Re: active newsgroups for mobile game dev??

Hi,

I'm a developer of business software by day.  I use Java, C, C++, C#, and VB
dotNet mostly.  My current project is writing a data entry application for
the PocketPC 2003 platform.  I was surprised at the amount the system has
progressed in the last couple of years and now I think it is probably
capable of running reasonably complex games.

My main interest is to develop a couple of games (based on old Amiga titles)
for the PocketPC and maybe Series60 mobile phones - all freeware/shareware
stuff until I can get my skills up to a standard that allows me to build
commercial quality titles.  Hopefully some of the people who peruse this
newsgroup can help me when I run into difficulties.  I'll try my best to
help others when the opportunities present themselves.

I've also got a Playstation 2 Linux developer kit that I hope to develop
some games for.  It's pretty damn complex though, and I'm not a Linux-head,
so the learning curve is doubly steep.


Regards,
Ty
