http://blogs.forum.nokia.com/blog/mark-wilcoxs-forum-nokia-blog <p>Random musings on mobile software development...</p> <p> I've been working with some other Forum Nokia Champions and expert developers in the last few months to create some resources for Multi-language programming (mixing your favourite runtimes).&nbsp; The result is a <a href="http://developer.symbian.com/main/documentation/runtime_environments/multi/" target="_blank">series of papers for the Symbian Developer Network</a>. </p> <p> In them you can find out about: </p> <p> 1) The architecture for applications mixing languages </p> <p> 2) The strengths and weaknesses of various combinations of languages </p> <p> 3) How to combine Flash Lite with C++ or Java (with examples from KuneriLite and Jarpa) </p> <p> 4) How to combine Python with Flash Lite or C++ (with examples from Flyer and a tutorial on writing PyS60 extensions) </p> <p> 5) How to extend WRT widgets </p> <p> &nbsp; </p> <p> One of the suggestions I made on my blog here before and also in the papers has already been done.&nbsp; One of the authors of the paper covering Python, Jussi Toivola (aka GameDude) has <a href="http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=152969" target="_blank">ported pygame to PyS60 Community Edition</a>.&nbsp; Now you can write games with sound effects in Python, taking advantage of the native performance provided by the SDL. </p> <p> Please read and enjoy!&nbsp; Many thanks are due to Bernd Wiegmann, Felipe Andrade, Ugur Kaner, Jukka Hamalainen, Mikko Ohtamaa &amp; Jussi Toivola, as well as the wonderful folks at the SDN. </p> <p> Mark </p> <p> &nbsp; </p> http://blogs.forum.nokia.com/blog/mark-wilcoxs-forum-nokia-blog/2008/12/16/multi-language-programming-python-flash-lite-c-java-widgets Tue, 16 Dec 2008 17:03:33 +0200
