Hi, First of all, i don't have any answer, really sorry, but please read the rest of my message if you have a little time. I reply to your email, because it's the first i see talking about game for palm, and i'm actually looking for informations about this, i'm a totally newbie. The first interrogation i have is : what language do you use to develop games ? Second is about integration of interactiviy and multimedia (i.e : can we use sounds ?) Can you point me in the right direction with good web sites talking about game on palm ?
