My name is Skoi.
I am here to question if I try to make a program for Symbian OS based such as game or some kind of utensil that can be presented in smartphones, how much time and money are generally required?

Monetary support is not such a problem, if technitians who are interested and want to know more information about it please, leave a note.

Tricky one - it all depends on what you have available. doing programmign in my spare time, I mange 30-0 minutes a night of good coding, probably 2-3 times a week. A project in OPL for a reasonable OPL application would take me 4-6 weeks to get to something I am happy iwth releasing. So about 10-12 hours for an OPL app.

Games are more complicated, so I would say double that to 24-30 hours.

Any part time C++'ers want to jump in here?
