Game Develoment pda/ppc

i add to that request: who knows something about palm-programming.

It seems to me that most of the smaller games like Tetris and Asteriods are built in Java, but I've also seen my share of programs for pdas written in embedded C++.

I would not recommend the GAPI as its old and outdated... There is some much newer API's out there including DX API's that u can use on PPC(Windows Mobile Devices) that are far better. One being the Windows Mobile Direct X API's. These API sit on top of the .NET compact framework 2.0 and use managed code in langauges such as c# or vb.net... I would recommend these over GAPI as tthey are still supported by MS and developed for. You can find some info at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms229664.aspx

As for palm... if i recall they used or do use a Intel xscale processor and require 3rd party 3d SDK's and in many cases as mentioned above are done in java as it tends to be more mature. I would not recomment Palm programming as I find Palm changes its internals for to much to make thre OS worthy of development... I mean even Palm sees this and thus why they make Windows Mobile Devices... I would look at the Windows Moble Platform 3d stuff as I think you will have a lot easier time working with those API's as there are native to the OS and are supported still by MS.
