(double thread?)
Anyway, me too - but does anyone know what MS’ stance on this is? They seem even more strict than Apple… [import]uid: 106658 topic_id: 18251 reply_id: 79153[/import]

+1 but I don’t think it’s likely, unless I’m mistaken WP7 requires code to be written in C# and currently corona is written in C++ which is fine on iOS and android (because of the NDK) but not with WP7. Even getting Lua to work would be a challenge it seems, since that’s written in C and I’m not sure there’s any full port of it to C#.
I read that Unity3D is skipping WP7 for the same reason. David Helgason’s quote from the article is insightful:
“[WP7] is a relatively closed system so you can’t run native content, which means we can’t really support it,” explained Helgason. “We could, in theory, do what we’ve done with Flash, which is to rewrite the engine so it works inside a non-native environment. So it could be done, in theory, but it’s very much in theory because that would require a huge amount of work and uncertain results.”
