Multi-platforming

I know that to release games on Android you need the Pro version. My question is once I get the Pro version how easy is it to release the game across multiple platforms? Once the game is made, is it just a few button clicks away? Or do I have to remake the entire thing from scratch for each platform I want it for? Same question for releasing on tablets.

Thanks in advance.

    There are tools like from DBA and there are also methods which are shared on the forum (tenrdrmer has a cool one). It shouldn't take more that an hour using one of these methods.

    I'll be in the same situation as you pretty soon... Looks like I'll have to get the DBA scene switcher like @Hapiapps mentioned.

    I'm on the Windows version. Do you guys know if I will be able to have access to this scene switcher? Currently I can't seem to access the templates I see mentioned around here. Not sure if it's the same thing. I'm still very new to GS.



    And @jckmcgraw

    Let me know how it goes when you do this! I'd be really interested in hearing any troubles you come across in the transition (or the lack thereof).



    Thanks for all your help.

    I don't think you'll be able to use it... :| But I'll let you know how it goes.

    Well, that's not good news. :(

    Maybe it's just something that will get developed over time? * fingers crossed *

    We are currently working on our Resource Centre for windows users but early tests show great results when taking a mac project and running on windows.

    Well, the issue isn't in regards to turning a Mac project into a Windows one. Sorry about the confusion.

    I meant, if I make a game specifically to run on an iPhone 4 (for instance) how hard is it to convert that game into a form that will run on Android phones?

    Nothing all you have to do is publish it for Android. I have a complete video series on android publishing.
