WME Lite Documentation

- 3D characters. WME Lite only supports 2D games.
- Video playback.

Frequently asked questionsQ: Do I have to pay for WME Lite? A: It depends. WME Lite itself is free, but it uses BASS library for sound, which requires that you buy a license if you are selling the game. You don't have to pay anything if you are releasing a freeware game.
Q: Will you add support for 3D characters to WME Lite? A: No. Porting the 3D part of WME 1.x would require a lot of time and effort and I believe that time is better spent developing WME2. The goal of WME Lite was to quickly bring existing 2D WME games to other platforms.
Q: Will you port WME Lite to [instert your favourite platform here] A: I don't have access to other platforms than Windows, OSX and iOS so personally I'm not planning any other ports. However, the source is open and I'm accepting patches. If you are a developer, you're free to port WME Lite to a new platform. It shouldn't be too complicated, as long as both SDL and BASS are available for the platform.
Q: What about Windows Phone 7 / XNA? A: Unfortunately, WP7/XNA development is based on Microsoft's .NET platform and the C# language. Microsoft doesn't allow native C++ development for these platforms, so "porting" would basically mean "rewriting from scratch in a different programming language" in this case. In other words, WP7 port is not possible until Microsoft allows native C++ development.
Q: Are the tools also ported? A: No, only the engine is ported. The actual game development still needs to be done on a Windows machine. But the resulting game packages (.dcp files) are runnable on other platforms.
