Re: [SUGGESTION] Iphone app for editor

I like the idea, but:
- You need a Mac to make iPhone Apps, not everyone has a Mac.
- Makeing an App is free but release to AppStore will cost some money.
- I don't think that an editor is enought.

Better, if you make something for iPhone, make the full Teeworlds Game.
I think everyone in this Forum how has an iPhone/iPod Touch will play the game and pay for it.
And if many People pay for it, new development could be funded.

EDIT: To develope iPhone Apps there is a special Application: the Apple iPhone SDK

I would say great, But your wrong, How could you play while on an iphone? An editor would be greattttttt because if your away from the computer and are just lazing, why not make a map, You dont need too release it on the appstore.. Also, You can make iphone apps using windows.

If im wrong, Tell me, Also Need a broud idea about how you could play.

Develop it for Android instead, if any, because Apple sucks.

For an iPhone/iPod touch it would fail, it would also fail for an Android.

I think the iPad is the best solution, since it has a bigger screen.

You have to release it on the App Store or to Jaibreak your iPhone but thats only allowed in US and can destroy your iPhone.
The Game for iPhone would be cooler. You could use your one finger to shoot, and one to walk or you move your iPhone to move.
You can only make Apps on a Mac. I tested. I downloaded the Apple iPhone SDK installed 3 programms to mount the image but I could not use the file that where on it.

I don't think so, there are many games for iPhone for all is the small screen enough.

To submit your apps to App Store, 1) you need a developer license IIRC, which was 99$ or something, 2) must agree to Apple's terms and conditions which don't allow the use of many useful APIs, 3) must wait ~ages for your app to get approved (if it ever gets). Jailbreaking doesn't kill your iDevice in any occasion unless you are desperately trying, development is possible on Windows, and you can code it just as you like, not as Apple likes.

That being said, I know absolutely nothing about iPhone coding, and I doubt that this project has enough need to be ported on any mobile device anyway. I'm not saying it wouldn't be pretty cool, but mapping on the computer is so much easier anyway.

Try to install the Apple iPhone SDK! First you need to install two programms to make the Diskimages Readable for Windows then you can mount the Image, but you can't open any programm on it, because all are Mac binarys.

Re: [SUGGESTION] Iphone app for editor

Forget about the teeworlds client for the iphone. It would be impossible to control the game as you need at least hook, fire, jump, move and weaponswitch as input. This is definitely more than the iphone can bear.

Did you ever try to do something that requires precision on the iphone? I can't even type a longer text on that keyboard. You would need to rework the complete gui of the editor, I suppose you won't find someone to do this. And I don't think you could create good maps on the iphone as you never have a view of bigger parts of the map.

Perhaps the iPad is more use to play teeworlds on it, I don't know, I haven't used one yet and I'm too lazy to get some information. Some final pseudo-wise crap: Better try to create games that fit a platform, don't try to make the platform fit the game tongue

AFAIK there is a commercial teeworlds clone available for the iphone which is based on the teeworlds code. search the forum for more information.

Re: [SUGGESTION] Iphone app for editor

yeah thats right the Game you searched is Dino Smash!
And it is a nice example that Teeworlds isn`t a game for a touch Display because you don`t have a good hook action and
no hook action => no Teewolrds!
