Monkey Targets Forums/HTML5/How to: Create a MeeGo app with monkey
| ||
| The experts of you might already know it, but for me this was new (discovered it by chance): You can create a MeeGo app from your monkey project within minutes by doing the following: 1.Build a release for the HTML5-target. 2. Go into the build folder and a) [optional] replace the favicon.ico with your own one b) [important] rename MonkeyGame.html to index.html c) [important] add a file named "icon.png" with at least 128x128 px d) [important] zip the contents of this folder 3. Register/login at http://appdeveloper.intel.com 4. Create a record for your app and write down the GUID-number that you will get in return 5. Go to http://appdeveloper.intel.com/en-us/encapsulator-beta There you will find a tool which converts your HTML5-app to a NATIVE MeeGo app (using something like a native wrapper). So your app won't need an internet connection or a browser suite during runtime. Submit there the zip-file created in step 2d) an the GUID-number you got in step 4). After that, you will be able to download a rpm-file - this is your app. 6. Login again at http://appdeveloper.intel.com and submit the app. The same tool offers also the possibility to convert to a windows program (including installer, start menu entry etc.). So, maybe this is nothing new, but I just discovered it and I like it. |

| Thanks! This should get stickied! |

| This is interesting.. Is it free for commercial use? Do the native windows apps run at faster than a browser HTML 5 game embedded in a browser? |

| @Yahfree: I don't know if it's free for commercial use. As far as I remember there were no restrictions. I can't say anything about speed differences, because I own a fast new PC. There everything runs fast (HTML5 games too). |
