==Developing applications==
Development of Wii homebrew applications is both fun and challenging. If you want to develop homebrew for the Wii, you will need some tools.
 
===Developing===
* You can use [[DevkitPro]] to develop applications. Tutorials for setting up DevkitPro are available for [[Devkitppc setup (Windows)|Windows]], [[Devkitppc setup (Linux)|Linux]], and [[Devkitppc setup (Mac OS X)|Mac OS X]].
* You should read [[Developer tips|developer tips]] before starting to develop to learn about standards and essential code.
* The [[List of development tools|list of development tools]] contains many code libraries and resources that are useful for developing.
 
===Releasing===
* If you would like to create a page for your application while developing it, create it in your user namespace and link to it on the [[List of homebrew applications (in development)]] page. You can move it to the article namespace when it is released.
* It is strongly recommended to create icon.png and meta.xml files for your application to make it compatible with the [[Homebrew Channel]].
* When your application is ready to be released, you can create a page for your application in the article namespace. Make sure to add the {{tl|infobox homebrewapp}} template and fill it in as much as you can.
* If you would like, you can host your application here on wiibrew by [[Special:Upload|uploading]] it. Otherwise, you can upload it somewhere else and link to it. Contact [[User:Pinecone | PineCone]] if you want your app hosted on an extremely fast and high-bandwidth web host for free, provided you are offering genuine homebrew.
