Programming games FOR a cellphone ON a cellphone.

I want to program games FOR the cell phone ON a cell phone. Is there any way to actually program things using a cell phone? i.e. Is there a compiler of any kind that works on a cell phone?

I don't just want to PLAY the games on my cell phone, (meaning program them on a PC and upload them to a cell phone), I want to actually create them ON the cell phone.

Why? Because I rarely have access to a PC, but my phone is ALWAYS with me.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I think that you should be able to use the same key codes as in VB6.0 the arrow keys should be the same code but as for the number/letter keys, you would need to find the coding for those on your specific model of phone.

One idea may be that you have to code just for one of the numbers/letters on the button being pressed.


Instead of coding for the number 1 and letters a,b,and c just for one key press, you would only have to code for something simple such as the #1 key press.

vbKeyCode1 or something such as that. I have not used key codes for a while.

On google, search "Visual Basic Key Codes"

Thanks for the quick reply, but I guess I was unclear.

I'm looking for an IDE or compiler of some kind that can be used ON a cellphone. Any language really, even proprietary if needed.

Is there a VB compiler that will work ON a cellphone? Or are ALL cellphone games programmed on desktops and then transferred to the phones? There has to be a way to do the actual programming ON the cellphone, right? I mean, if we can put a man on the moon (LOL)...

Thanks!
