Hi Arne, That's a great idea. I'll be there, and I'm looking forward to the discussion! In the mean time, I've played around with a template-based build system for Android: https://github.com/Adellica/chicken-mobile It isn't complete yet, but I though I'd put it out there so you can have a look

Hi there, first of all I'd like to introduce myself, because this is my first posting on this list and it's kinda not mine at all. :-) The last years ruby was my everyday programming language and it still is. But my new job at bevuta and a few people around this company brought me to chicken,

Helllo mobile Chickeners! I'm so glad there is interest in running Chicken on mobile platforms. This is what I've been working on for the past few months, starting chicken-android https://github.com/kristianlm/chicken-android and cocoscheme https://github.com/Adellica/cocoscheme. I only have

Hi Shawn, Kristian decided to use Chipmunk, which is a scene graph with an integrated physics engine, right? That's maybe a different optimization than you need for doing basic 2D GUI applications, but I do wonder if it could work for that purpose too. Actually, Chipmunk only provides the

Yes, please. I've been toying with this idea for quite a while now. Chicken already works without modification on iOS. However, since you cannot link to third party libraries dynamically, you'd have to compile two versions (x86 one for the simulator, ARM version for the device) and statically
