[myptcs]

I thought it would be nice to have a thread where people post links to game making sites that have helped them, to encourage potential designers (like me). Can anyone recommend some good tutorial/software sites for learning how to/creating games/software that meet the requirements for Pandora/GP2X?

Whilst I haven't used this tutorial myself (PeeJay (the author) and I are old mates and have been coding in various languages for years), here is a tutorial for GLBasic games devlopment (GLBasic compiles to GP2X, pc, ppc, OSX).

GLBasic really is superb for GP2X development with virtually no faffing about rquired. It's not free, but it's not expensive either (there is a free demo available, but this limits actual gametime to five minutes and features a watermark). www.glbasic.com Gernot (KungPhoo here) and the friendly community is always at hand to give assistance and advice.

I coded B'lox! with GLBasic, winning me a nice shiny F200 in the process

Sol_HSA (coder of OrbitalSniper2X and a lot of other stuff) has a lot of good information on his site:
