What kind of Mac would I need to submit apps by the way?

I may want to buy the commercial version of game editor along with a Mac but I am a self employed web designer so I need to be sure I will get ROI. Could I do it on an old G4 or do I need to buy a mac mini?


We support (Snow) Leopard 10.5 and higher. Intel only.

No rework except the points I stated in my last post. You can work with your .ged file on Windows and export it to .dat for the Xcode build for appstore.
Set the app settings to iPhone in the windows game-editor. You can even simulate the accelerometer using joystick. So a marble game could be developed on windows entirely.

The current Beta for Windows supports iPhone screen settings and accelerometer support. You could use that develop. Deployment would be done with a Mac.

Todays Mac Game-Editor on the FTP server does support PPC also. Pls try out at your own risk. We cant test this in deep.

just wanted to chime in again. I'm getting pretty good speed still in my iPhone GE tests, some of what looks like a slight slowdown when running "incursion", but I'm trying to debug it a bit to see what may be causing it. I hope a game as light as incursion isnt causing slowdown on a 3GS, the latest project I'm working on(and considering to port to GE) has about 2x as many sprites on screen as incursion does at any given time. Time for more testing.... Thanks Maks & Andreas

Is the GE using OpenGL ES? If so, to what extent?

(hopefully one day GE will do native scaling(and even rotating) of sprites).

your DAT file must be named "gameEditor.dat" for the iPhone GE to reference it(after the FTP upload)

Normally it must be named "geplayer.dat". I didnt know that "gameEditor.dat" also works.

Uan, I am very interested in your current project with the many sprites. Whats about? Whats the current plattform it comes from?
I am happy to tell u a bit more about opengl and rotating sprites/box2d.
