3D games on iOS

[REDNSX]

I have been playing in my head this very simple idea for a game but it will only work if its in 3D. Any one have any experience with iOS doing 3D games for it. The one I have seen to be very popular is Unity 3D but is it like GE ? Any one know ? I just don't want to get into a programing nightmare. I love GE because its is easy to use and every one is so helpful I just want to know if any one could give me feed back on this.

Thanks

Unity 3d isn't really like Ge. The structure is much more complicated and it would take a really dedicated programmer to learn how everything works. I'd reccomend using Unity if you were part of a team. Ge is better for freelancers

Now, if you're wanting to create a 3d game in Ge, then you can do so by using the canvas (best tool in the world ^^). Here's a few articles I found on raytracing in c++. I'm not sure if you can port it to Ge or not, but it's worth a try

I hope that helps

Thank you. I thought it would be more complicated.

Haha, what do you mean? As far as I'm concerned, raytracing in Ge is the hardest thing to do ^^

I was saying that unity would be more complicated as in I thought it would be. I just don't want to work on a benching ball in unity for 1week when in GE it takes 1 minute. Lol

Haha, yeah ^^

Actually, it's as easy as anywhere else (Unless it's already pre-programmed), it's simply because GE has no hardware acceleration for canvas drawing

I meant that understanding the concept and actually programming it is hard ^^
