IPhone

Post by Muppetboi »

Hi Chaps, this us my first post on this forum.

I play Warzone 2100 a lot on my pc & laptop but I'm wondering if anyone is interested developing this excellent game for iPhone?

I am currently designing a couple of apps for iPhone so have some helpful experience. I would love to be involved in development for iOS if you guys think it's worth doing.

Let me know what you think.

There definately are similarities between iphoneOS and mac osx and there was a fairly good thread here: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=4668 which could be a good read. Unfortunately, it never finished where it left off.

While not as bad as porting to some other systems would be, it still boils down to the time and effort needed to do something like this.

I read the thread, very interesting, looks like some people are already working on this.

I agree that it would be focused mainly on iPad as I doubt the experience on iPhone would be that great. The
PowerVR SGX graphics on iPhone 3GS does support OpenGL ES 1.1 and 2.0.

I've not played warzone on mac yet but I will install it on my vmware mac.

I will look into it but it won't be easy to do.
