Quick question but are most graphics intensive games written in a single C++ code base for both iOS and Android? For example I use to play sim city on both ios and android and noticed it was virtually the same. Is it just a shim onto OpenGL and everything else is done inside C++ with a custom rendering engine? Or are they using some type of Unity style environment?
- kayamon 10y agoI don't know about Sim City, but it's very _very_ common for games to write everything in C++/OpenGL and just use a thin layer to bind against the underlying platform where needed. In fact, other than using a premade engine like Unity, I'd say that's the only sane way to do mobile development.
