The Microsoft® .NET Compact Framework is a subset of the full Microsoft .NET Framework. The full .NET Framework was factored down to fit resource-constrained devices without compromising user scenarios in such a way that the developers would get enhanced performance with majority of the functionality intact at a much-reduced size.
The benefits of targeting the .NET Compact Framework, among other things, includes single binary deployment for Pocket PC and other Windows CE .NET devices, increased developer productivity and reduced time to market.
In this whitepaper, I will discuss the key requirements for writing games targeting small devices and show that the .NET Compact Framework can handle them with ease. I will also discuss some of the advanced performance-tuning techniques that you can use to push the limits of your game. In short, you will see how easy it is to develop and optimize your games using the .NET Compact Framework. It will be a fun ride, so buckle up and enjoy.
