So I’ve wanted to start this discussion for quite some time now. Mostly because it’s a very interesting question in relativity to where the industry is moving (heavy growth in sales on phones and tablets).
The current research I’ve done shows that there isn’t much opportunities to do exactly this. Take for example iOS, you’ve got a few apps that can do HTML, CSS, JS etc. (like Diet Coda and Textastic). These apps can also display your work in the form of a website, but what about the hundreds of other things in the programming? What could we game developers do to test if our view matrices are correct on-the-go, nothing.
Many would of course prefer to do their work on the computer, but I’ve often felt to need to have something that could compile and run my code on my tablet or my phone. Just to test out a quick idea for example.
It seems like the industry have opened up for producing almost every medium (in a smaller scale though), but have totally forgotten about the people who produce code.
What do you guys think?
