External Publications
---------------------
In these articles outside developers and Google engineers describe their
experience porting libraries and applications to Native Client and
Portable Native Client. They share their insights and provide some tips
and instructions for how to port your own code.
Porting Nebula3 to Portable Native Client
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Andre Weissflog ported his Nebula3 engine to Portable Native Client (see
`his demos <http://www.flohofwoe.net/demos.html>`__). He discusses
`build systems
<http://flohofwoe.blogspot.de/2013/08/emscripten-and-pnacl-build-systems.html>`__
and `app entry
<http://flohofwoe.blogspot.de/2013/09/emscripten-and-pnacl-app-entry-in-pnacl.html>`__.
Porting Go Home Dinosaurs
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
`Fire Hose Games <http://firehosegames.com>`_ developed a new webgame
`Go Home Dinosaurs
<https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/icefnknicgejiphafapflechfoeelbeo>`_.
It features tower defense, dinosaurs, and good old fashioned BBQ. This
article explains their experiences developing for Native Client
including useful lessons learned to help you get started.
`Read more <http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/175210/the_ins_and_outs_of_native_client.php>`__
Porting Zombie Track Meat
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
`Fuzzycube Software <http://www.fuzzycubesoftware.com>`_, traditionally
a mobile game development studio, talks about their adventure into the
web, porting the undead decathlon `Zombie Track Meat
<https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/jmfhnfnjfdoplkgbkmibfkdjolnemfdk/reviews>`_
from Objective C to Native Client.
`Read more <http://fuzzycube.blogspot.com/2012/04/zombie-track-meat-post-mortem.html>`__
Porting AirMech
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
`Carbon Games <http://carbongames.com/>`_ chose Native Client as a
solution for cross-platform delivery of their PC game `AirMech
<https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hdahlabpinmfcemhcbcfoijcpoalfgdn>`_
to Linux and Macintosh in lieu of native ports. They describe the
porting process on their blog.
`Read more <http://carbongames.com/2012/01/Native-Client>`__
Porting XaoS
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Google engineers ported `XaoS
<http://wmi.math.u-szeged.hu/xaos/doku.php>`_, an interactive graphical
exploration tool for fractals, to Native Client. Many of the porting
problems they encountered are quite common, and the techniques described
here should help with similar porting efforts. Some of the background
information might also benefit those who are writing new Native Client
applications.

.. TODO Fix link once it is ReST-ified.
Porting MAME
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator (`MAME <http://mamedev.org>`_) is an
emulator for a large number of classic arcade games. Google engineers
ported it to Native Client. This article discusses the overall porting
strategy, dealing with ``newlib`` incompatibilities, and handling
binaries that are built and run as part of the build process.

.. TODO Fix link once it is ReST-ified.
How to Port SDL Games
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
`Simple Directmedia Layer <http://www.libsdl.org>`_ (SDL) is a popular
library that many games and applications use to access sound and video
capabilities on end-user machines. Native Client bindings for SDL are
available on naclports, making it possible to port SDL-based games to
Native Client. This article by Google engineers describes how to
complete such a port, focusing on writing the glue code for fusing your
game with the Pepper APIs.
