[umen]

Hello all  

I started to write tutorials blog about game development,especially exploring the options developer have when developing cross platform games using open source tools.      

for the first tutorial series i developed simple snake game which i plan to show how to implement it for the web,mobile and desktop.   

the framework i chose is Cocos2d-x. it is mature and professional and  above all it is open source.

and have great JS/Lua support.  

i will use JavaScript as my language for this. way ? Because it is easy and accessible. easy to learn for beginners.  

First part is for the web:

Good question , but to worm the user , i think it involve the iOS api while it detected it will fire callback which you will catch in your code . 

i dont think it is implemented in cocos2d-x engine

@umen

there is a subforum "sponsors and portal" in this forum, you will get much information there.

I dont know if it's still relevant now, though. the posts there looks old.
