Making your own Palm programs

[tennyson]

Hi Everyone,

Has anyone written their own Palm programs to assist them with in-game play? I am interested in finding out what pieces of software would allow me to do somehting like this. Thanks in advance!

I've looked at Palm programming, and these are a few of the tools I've tested:

NSBasic: http://www.nsbasic.com/
- Stand-alone VB-like development tool

AppForge: http://www.appforge.com/
- Add-in for VB6; use VB to create Palm Apps

SmallBasic: http://smallbasic.sourceforge.net/
- Freeware Basic tool (kinda klunky but has its charm)

PocketC: http://www.orbworks.com/
- C for PalmOS (or WinCE)

I've used NSBasic to create PC's Familiar. Relatively inexpensive ($150), run-time that is free to distribute, based on VB so not to hard to learn if you have any VB experience, and they have versions for Windows CE so you should be able to easily port what you write (though I haven't done that).

I know I'd pay for a PocketPC version of PC's Familiar. Any chance you'll be porting it anytime soon?
