Virtools Releases PSP Solution
Representatives from Dassault Systèmes have announced the release of the latest in their Virtools solution packages, this time dedicated to development for Sony's PSP, which promises faster and easier development for the handheld.
Dassault's Virtools framework combines GUIs, graphical and text scripting, debug tools, and APIs such as behavior and render engines, as well as asset integration plug-ins, giving developers better flexibility and performance when working on PlayStation Portable titles.
Originally created as a solely a PC tool and offering fast prototyping as well as commercial product development, Virtools is framed within a drag-and-drop interface.
