Dear all,
I have a great idea and I want to develop it in these platforms simultaneously: PC, PS2 (PS3?), PSP, XBOX, XBOX360.

Is there any way to "write once, run everywhere" in the console world? Is there any development platform that reduces the effort at least a little? (say, write once for all PS platforms...)

NOTE: money is NOT important. TIME is the critical factor.

Thank you all guys !!!

PS: Anyone interested in working in my future-brand-new-successful company as a game designer or programmer?

different consoles use different
cpus and thus different instruction sets
so there is absolutely no sdk out
there that can support all these
systems ...and no one compiler ;P

as for a all system one program tool
that supports all systems ....i highly
recommend the terrific vi program ;)

after all it can write C for any of these
great systems .... although you might
experience problems writing to PC code ;)

NOTE: my statements were completely
in exaggeration and jest .... please pray
that you dont take me serious here ;)

... and good luck

sdl and/or gl

Probably using something like lua would be your best bet, get luaplayer on all the different systems and within reason you should be able to write once run everywhere.

However as mentioned C/C++ is realtively portable if you write it correctly and using non-specific apis such as sdl can reduce the plain of porting to a different platform.

Tbh it isn't worth the hassle ;)

Thank you all guys !!
