Panzer General Portable: Redux
November 7, 2018 1 Comment
(Part 1 of the Panzer General Portable Project)
I recently had the need to come up to speed on build a phone app targeting both iOS and Android. Since I have limited experience with Cordova and I much prefer writing F# over javascript, it made sense to take a look at what Xamarin has to offer. Coincidently, I went to a meet up where Don Syme and Jim Bennett were presenting a new F# framework based on Elm called fabulous. So what the heck – what not take Xamarin and fabulous out for a spin? I decided to revisit the game I wrote for Windows Phone 7 called Panzer General Portable. I was especially curious how the code would compare from the original C# + XML to F# + Xamarin Forms + fabulous.
Over the coming weeks, I plan to post my journey into this endeavor. Hopefully, I can learn some things, contribute to the F#/fabulous community, and have some fun.
