I'm just wondering, what software did the development team here use to develop Warfare? Thanks!

For the program itself, they used C++ (not sure which environment, possibly GCC or Codewarrior)

For the levels they used the same level editor we have. :D

Level editor is written in the same language as the game itself I suppose? :)

Probably not. The level editor uses the Microsoft .NET framework which isn't avalible for Palm OS. They may have used C++ to make the editor and the game but the editor would have used the .NET extensions which make it act as a different kind of program when you have it compiled (managed memory and such).

- C++ and assembly for the game
- C# for the tools (including the mission editor)

Did you develop your own graphics library, or used one of the available (e.g. gapidraw) or just PalmOS 5.x API?

It's our own. We needed a very custom solution to get good performance on low-end 68K-based Palm devices particularly.

The Palm OS 3 & 4 version, 68K cpu based, is written in C++ and 68K assembly, and compiled with the gcc toolchain for Palm OS, called prc-tools. The Palm OS 5 and above version, native ARM based, is all C++, compiled with Metrowerks Codewarrior.
