Intel XDK, ImpactJS and Tizen

 

Hi,

I'm looking for tools that cover my needs to port my game to Tizen. I wish to develop HTML5 game for this OS. Is this possible to make HTML5 aplication and pack it for Tizen using Intel XDK. Especially I'm looking to use accelerated canvas and ImpactJS engine and Tizen Web API for purchasing and ads. I see that XDK not supports Tizen directly, but may be it possible to make package via Tizen IDE using the same code base. If this possible I'm curious is ImpactJS bundled with Intel XDK or it just need to buy it from http://impactjs.com/

If this not possible what tools I can use to make game for Tizen. 

Thanks,
Nick

Hi nisafrost, In a couple of weeks the Intel XDK will support Tizen directly. The Intel XDK development team is working on it and it should be much improved soon. I don't have an exact release date though. I briefly trying running a game built with the Intel XDK and Tizen and the main problem that I had was that the Intel XDK and Tizen both have their own libraries for talking to the accelerometer and other hardware. One way around this would be to build a PhoneGap application, both the Intel XDK and Tizen support PhoneGap, and like I said in the near future the Intel XDK will directly support Tizen.

Hi Daniel, Thank you for quick reply and detailed reply. I'm just curious is ImpactJS will work on Tizen, it seems that it build over accelerated canvas. Does Tizen support this feature? Thanks. Best Regards, Nick

Hi Nick, I'm more familiar with direct canvas, which is an acelerated canvas that is part of the Intel XDK. Here's a how on using it with ImpactJS. http://www.html5dev-software.intel.com/amdocs/lib/Tutorial-DirectCanvasWithImpactJS.pdf?r=2216 In general though, my understanding is that canvases that are accelerated to work in mobile environments do so by trimming the canvas API to only those calls that are needed on a phone or tablet, and optimizing other operations knowing that just mobile support is needed. It's still in implemented in the native container that is produced by building with the Intel XDK. When the Intel XDK begins supporting Tizen, we can begin testing its performance.

Hi Daniel, Do you know if Intel XDK runs on a Tizen PC ? https://wiki.tizen.org/wiki/Tizen_PC
Daniel Holmlund
The Intel XDK doesn't run on Tizen because Java is not installed on Tizen by default.

Agreed but there's also a "Download from Chrome Web Store" option: "The XDK is the world’s first HTML5 powered mobile application development tool. With it, you can create, debug and build customized, robust HTML5 apps in hours, and the XDK runs on either Mac or PC Platforms." So it should probably run on the Tizen web runtime imo https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/intel%C2%AE-xdk/onmkoldigcfmebcinpmineoadckalllb/details
