| Hello I have some questions regarding how i will get my game to Windows 8 Phone. First the general process is not clear for me. But most importantly: I use OpenGL 2.0 and i compiled the angel Libs but how do i actually build the Windows 8 phone binary with the angel libs as a wrapper for openGL ? How do they get integrated into Monkey ? What target do i use for Win 8 Phone games ? Thanks a lot! |

| There is no OpenGL on Windows Phone 8. WP8 uses Direct-X. There is a WinRT target, which is for WP8+ |

| Hi I know that Windows Phone does not support OpenGL. Henche the angel Libs. From the readme: "ANGLE allows Windows users to seamlessly run OpenGL ES content by efficiently translating OpenGL ES API into DirectX 11 API calls." -> https://github.com/Microsoft/angle Does the WinRT Target use the Angel libs to run OpenGL2.0 ? Please note that i do not use standart monkey but instead open GL ES directly. Any clarification welcome. Also I did not use Windows for the last 15 years. How would i go about to build for the WinRT target ? Thanks a lot! |

| Angle is for Windows on DESKTOP. Not for mobile OS. |

| From Manux's link: This repository is maintained by Microsoft to support the use of ANGLE by Windows Store app developers. It contains several branches: ms-master - for Universal Windows 10 apps (UWP) and desktop apps ms-win8.1 - for Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 apps ms-holographic-experimental - for experimental HoloLens support So yes, ANGLE can be used on Windows 8 Phone but such usage is not supported with current Monkey-X target. IMHO it would be easier to convert your app to use the DirectX11 device initialised by the Monkey-X Win8Phone target than build a new Monkey-X Win8Phone target that uses Angle. |

| Ok I am just going to throw this out there, probably will be too slow, but it is another way to build Open GL ES 2 into Windows Phone. Watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08-R0dpdh5M (12:24) So compile to HTML5 in Monkey and try following the steps in that video to get it into Windows Phone. NOTE: If you do it this way, you CAN NOT use MonkeyStore. So probably only for paid apps only. |

| @Skid, How would i convert the app ? As i use openGL. Do you mean i will have to rewrite the code to Direct x so monkey can build an Windows RT target ? OR do i just need to compile the Windows RT target in monkey ? @ Fredi, HTML5 target is broken at the moment for my project. But thanks it alsways good to have options on hand :-) |

| Since you use OpenGL yourself, yes, there is no other way besides converting calls to Direct-X AFAIK. If you use the mojo library, you wouldn't have to do anything - just recompile in the desired target and everything would work. |
