Multi Platform Game Dev Tools List


Gemintronic

Recommended Posts

I figured there's a critical mass of game dev tools that support many targets.  This is still a nascent category so many have incomplete or uneven platform coverage.  Some like ZX Basic variants aren't technically part of the main project.

 

8bit-Unity
Apple 2, Atari 8bit, Commodore C64, Oric 1/Atmos, Atari Lynx, or NES/Famicom
A C language SDK for retro development.

BennuGD
iOS, Android, Wii (homebrew), GP2X/Wiz/Caanoo, Dingoo (Dingux), PSP (homebrew), HTML5, Open Pandora, PlayStation 2 (homebrew), Motorola Linux, Dreamcast (homebrew), XBOX (homebrew), Bennu.NET, MacOS X (x86), Haiku OS, Raspberry PI
Mainly for PC dev but has unofficial ports for various consoles.

TRSE
C64, C128, VIC-20, PLUS4, NES, Gameboy, PET, ZX Spectrum, TIKI 100, Amstrad CPC 464, Atari 2600, 8086AT, Amiga 500, Atari 800, BBC Micro, Super Nintendo (SNES), Mega65, VZ200, MSX, Apple II and the Atari ST 520
A completes dev suite for many systems.  Has very uneven support from C64 being strongest and Atari 2600 being almost nothing.

ZX Basic Unofficial Variants
ZX Spectrum, Unofficial Ports for Coleco, MSX, Sega Master System
nitrofurano dabbles in multi platform development.  Sometimes he ports just enough ZX Basic to complete a game and then includes his tools in the download.

Multi-Platform Arcade Game Designer

Inufuto's tools

I don't know exactly what those do, but he has published at least Z80, 6800 and 6809 stuff so far. His list of supported systems involve a lot more though perhaps the tools are not yet in a publishable format.

I support lesser popular and even exotic 8-bit architectures. In particular I fully support the Intel 8080, Intel 8085, GBZ80 (GameBoy), COSMAC RCA 1802 (COMX-35, TMC-600, Pecom 32/64, etc.). I also support the Motorola 6803 (MC-10).

Cross-Lib also builds native versions (currently meant to run on the terminal) of all the games.

What is important to stress here is, that Cross-Lib is WORA, i.e., "write once, run anywhere" (after compilation) and even the assets are shared among targets.

Inufuto added Z80, 6800, 6809 and 6502 tools on the same link above. I haven't downloaded those to see what they do but I'm having some hope.

It's a C like compiler paired with an assembler, similar to something like Millfork. Many of Inufuto's releases have source code, which are compiled with this compiler.
