 If the idea of building an application from scratch for Symbian OS seems daunting, there is another way. With P.I.P.S. on the latest UIQ phones porting applications from Linux or a PC environment has become much easier. In a new UIQ case study, Lars Persson explains his approach to porting games.
Porting applications to UIQ got a whole lot easier when Symbian Ltd introduced P.I.P.S. (P.I.P.S is POSIX on Symbian), despite this Lars says he wonders "why more developers don't port applications ... this could be because most developers don't appreciate how P.I.P.S. has made a big difference to porting." Many users know Lars better as "AnotherGuest," a regular contributor of ported games to my-symbian.com.
In the latest case study interview published on the UIQ Developer Community Web site (developer.uiq.com) Lars provides a detailed review of his approach to porting games from selecting a game to port, through the common issues in ported code, to distributing the finished result.
Lars sees porting as a "fascinating technical challenge," but something which offers "tremendous satisfaction in porting an application."
