WinCE will be fine?

The touch screen on most winCE devices maps as a mouse. beware that the mouse postition is valid only while the ‘button is pushed’. The direction pad maps as arrow keys. I wouldn’t count on anything beyond that being available on most winCE devices. Some have keyboards or maybe other inputs that you might want to support as an option. As for joysticks, I’m not sure winCE supports them.

Good news about using SDL is you can do most of your developement on another platform with a better debug environment. debugging on winCE is a PAIN.

Hi
