You can write all your logic in C++ but you will still need to learn objective-c to speak to the iPhone apis. I think objective c is fast enough but c++ is faster. For portability reasons I would stick with c++.

If I'm to write an arcade/action game for iPhone would you suggest that I implement it in C++ (which is one of my day job's languages, and in which I'm proficient) or I should go with Objective-C since it's the language of choice for MacOS (which I should re-learn)? Is Objective-C fast enough for action games? Thanks On Thu, Mar 19, 2009 at 12:15 PM, Incognito <[email protected]> wrote: Sorry never used any. They wanted me to pay money for the one I found, don't remember name right now, will look them up. My apps were originally written in C so all I did was to move that code to iPhone since it supports C.

My take on Apple vs Android goes a bit like this: Commodore 64 - Sinclair spectrum Commodore Amiga - Atari ST PC - Mac Android - iPhone I made a wise choice :-) Some are saying Google won't make it in the mobile space. TBH I don't think they will have to with the new tech coming out with Android. The G? is just a small feather in a big headdress :-) Android will be everywhere and boy am I looking forward to the day :-) Pd.

Apple may be something of an anomaly in the mobile market, but it's a popular anomaly that consumers seem to like. Al. fdimeglio wrote: You just dont understand the problem IMHO. Dont get me wrong, I am a huge advocate of Android. With this new iPhone OS 3.0, Apple is giving more meat to both the final users (consumers) and the developers. I think this is a great deal and Apple thru this wise move is just trying to kill the competition right the way. We can say goodbye to crappy basic phones, Blackberry OS, WinMo and others in a couple of years as they are now just "followers". iPhone is right now way more attractive to users and developers and this will increase a lot more with iPhone OS 3.0. I am more concerned about Android right now and I would LOVE to see a roadmap that can show how Android will be able to compete with the iPhone OS. Saying that Apple is a "freak" in the mobile market shows that you dont understand this market and stay in your mind with the old classic mobile world which is now scheduled to die. Common Google, we really need to have a great response to this huge threat and some roadmap elements. Fabrice On Mar 17, 3:19 pm, Israel Ferrer <[email protected]> wrote: Oh! I was reading live the Keynote, and It was like a joke. I will explain to all the audience my point of view. First of all, Apple is out of the Mobile world. Why? There wasnt in MWC09 at Barcelona, so Apple think that dont sell mobile. Apple sell innovation and they know it. Finally, I was reading and when It appear (cOPY & Paste) I was seriously afraid. Why? Maybe Apple try to rename it like iCopy and patent it, WOW danger ;P And what about Spotlight, WTH! Spotlight is nothing more than a find engine... are you serious? Apple is not a matter for the Mobile Market, Apple is the freak in the Mobile Market. But App Store and new SDK is the perfect machine to make MMORPG Like second life, its the perfect business. Apple is doing great with the App Store and SDK ;) http://and.roid.es El 17/03/2009, a las 23:03, Pd escribió: Just had the shock of my life!
