Design and implementation of the WIPI-to-Android automatic mobile game converter for the contents compatibility in the heterogeneous mobile OS

A Study on the WIPI-to-Tizen Converter for Smart Game Contents Compatibility

“…Other data such as images and sound must also be converted into a form that can be used on the new target platform. In addition, an API library must be provided in order to maintain equivalent programming and event environments [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15].…”

“…The content analyzer [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] is a system that analyzes the input content, and produces an output in which the resource data and source code stored within the content are separated. Thus, the content analyzer must separate the image or sound resource data, in the form of variables, according to the variable.…”

“…The resource converter [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] is a system that converts the resource data, which is in text or binary form, into image data, sound data, and user data for use in the target platform's file system. The image file formats used in each platform (e.g., BMP, PNG, JPEG), sound formats (e.g., WAV, MP3, MMF), and user data must be researched and converted for use in the target platform.…”

“…This has led to the need for developers to convert contents that have been already developed for use on smart phone platforms. converting (porting and retargeting) Consequently, considerable time and expense are being invested to analyze and convert(port and retarget) the sources and resources of one smart game's content for use on the smart phone platform [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15].…”

“…The resource converter is a system which converts the text or binary resource data from the game to be converted into image, sound and user data so that it can be used on the target platform's file system. The platform mapping engine is a system which provides API functions which allow the previous platform's execution environment to be recreated using the target platform's wrapper functions [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15].…”
