i have also planned to write a game that runs on a mobile phone.

help me to do it. thanks in advance.

I do not know a mobile platform where its SDK are reccomending using pure C anymore. Last that I knew of was the old Palm platform.

But you can write C/C++ with QT as GUI library for Maemo, MeeGo and possibly other Nokia devices. QT are object oriented, so its not procedural as you want.

I know of 1 platform where pure C is possible. That's the windows mobile version <6.5 using win32 api. But this is not a thing I personally recommend doing since C#.NET makes it easier to develop applications for that platform. I also think that pure C combined with XML/CSS using the WebOS PDK is possible but I might be wrong here.

If you have a wish to write for mobile devices using your knowledge in C then i would rather recommend to use languages like C++ and Objective-C where you also can write C and use C libraries.

A list of mobile devices and the programming languages used to develop applications for them:

Symbian - C/C++
iOS - Objective-C
Android - Java
Windows Mobile -  C/C++/.NET
WebOS - C/C++

How about MoSync. It's OS-independent SDK. MoSync applications are written in the C and C++ programming languages.

Programming is almost same. Try downloading one of the SDKs and review the documents for any of the platforms you want.

1) iPhone

2) Android

3) Bada (This is Samsung's latest platform)

SDK comes with cross compilers , simulators and IDE to assist you.

Will add more to this.

Java-to-C compiler may work in J2ME case. You can try Clue: http://cluecc.sourceforge.net/
