So for a school DECA project, another kid and I are studying entrepreneurship, and for that we've decided we wanted to make a small business creating and selling video games.
What kinds, you ask? Well, we want to make a 2D side scroller with nice particle effects. Not really oldschool-ish, just seemed practical and do-able.
Originally, we also wanted it to be 2D because we figured we'd do it for the iPhone. However, after numerous fails of setting up a working hackintosh and even more disturbing EULA's telling us we'd pretty much get pwned by one of the world's greatest business titans (read: totalitarian capitalists) ever, we needed another system to use.
Blackberry.Free SDK, Java, Eclipse plugin; the development packages for this thing are L-E-G-I-T. Only one problem: While my teammate does design, I'm expected to code, which doesn't work too well when I myself don't own a Blackberry
. Anybody here have a Blackberry Tour they'd like to test some things on? I can post some .jar's every once in awhile showing things like plasmas, triangle fills, voxel engines, raycasters, and the like, but I won't bother if nobody here can test really.
(BTW, I ask for the
Tour specifically because of its large [480x360] resolution and a couple local kids are helping us test, and that's what they have.)
What do you guys think?
EDIT: Our engine is no longer Tour-specific.
