I am beginning to study Apis for graphic development and I have a pertinent question. When games are developed, Apis are necessarily used. My question is regarding the development of the same game with different Apis, in order to increase the compatibility of the game. Games are developed again with another API or it is possible to "convert" from one API to another?

    The games are developed again with another API? - Often yes, unless there is a third API that already does the job of mapping to one or the other. It is possible to "convert" from one API to another? - Yes, but this usually has to be done manually by a programmer, unless there is already a third API ready to do the conversion/adaptation between one and the other.

  • If you are starting consider Unity: http://unity3d.com/pt. it promises to run the game on multiple platforms, I have never tested it but developed a few games in it. The programming language is C# or Javascript.
