Cross Platform Programming
« on: May 14, 2013, 06:51:16 AM »
Outside of Hollywood, how could some one make software that can be relatively easy to port from platform to platform?

I know this is an old topic.
Is there any reason why software can not be made for Amiga os anymore?

Thanks, I know that Amiga OS4.X software is being made. How about classic?
Is there a way to go from Aros or Linux to Classic fairly easy?
I feel Hollywood was a good idea and maybe Xamos is a possible answer.

I see. That takes me to an Emulator, but why not just use an Amiga or clone. :)

I noticed in this demo that there is multiple layers.
How is this?

Great.
I have studied C and C++ and got into using pointers.
I have a blog on pointers, not much is there.

I see for the most part what you are saying about organising your code for portability.
I would like to bring more programmers to the Amiga. The ability to bring code from other platforms seems to be a must these days.

Would Amigans be willing to buy software for a dollar or 99 cents?

Is it not possible to use your own functions to call other functions in SDL or OpenGL?
Then change the header file that contains your functions for different platforms.
