[hello world:@”I’m back”]

I bet you were thinking, that I’m lost :). Wrong.

I had a break in studying something new. A month ago I became father of my 3rd child, and with this opportunity, I’ve started to learn Objective C and iPhone development.

I realized, that getting to do a fairly new game engine, that would fit on the market, it’s too big for one person, so I moved to mobile development. iPhone and other similar phones have similar hardware that computers had about 10 years ago – were you thinking at that time, that this will happen?

So, I compared the leading mobile OSes:

• Android: Java, open source, variety of hardware
• iPhoneOS: Objective C, closed source, strict application regulations , OpenGL ES 2.0
• Windows Mobile: C++, 6.5 is pretty deprecated, DirectX
• Symbian: C++, pretty old.

I have chosen between Android and iPhone, because the other two are obsolete (IMHO). Android is only programmable in Java, that makes it not the best platform for games, so iPhone was the winner.

I’m writing a small game for iPhone, I’ll link it here when it’s available on AppStore.

Back to XCode…
