cube on iphone

by a~baby~rabbit on 09/26/2008 03:06, 100 messages, last message: 07/24/2009 01:04, 64020 views, last view: 03/29/2024 09:16

With a couple of days work I've ported cube to the iphone/touch... the result is very rough around the edges in terms of usability and is a tad slow (5-15fps), but it works! See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzz24bpSYO4 (sorry about the poor volume, and my bad camera work...)

What next? I'll fix the interface see if I can tweak the performance a little. If I can make it more playable then I'll still needs Aards permission before I can consider making it (and it's content) a freebie on the Apple AppStore (and yes, I am a registered iphone dev).

PS Before people ask - I did consider porting Sauerbraten, but it uses too many opengl features that I'd have to work around for the ES and the codebase is significantly more complex.

What happened to this? It isn't on the appstore yet and the site says it should be available Oct 9th, and it's the 12th :P

Actually submitted to the AppStore 2nd Oct'08 - I'm %^£*& waiting too...

note: during July I believe it took 30 days for an App to reach the end of the review queue - and Apple do have a conference thingy this week... so basically I have no idea - but let's hope before christmas :P

#16: Touch?

by [Soul]Floppy on 10/15/2008 01:07

I think this is a great idea. Will this be compatible with the Ipod Touch also?

Thanks,

yep, most app store apps are compatible with both, and I think baby-rabbit used an ipod touch in the video :P

Can you play MP with other iPhones/Touches? If so, that is ****ing awesome.

Yeah, this whole process is a joke. 2-3 weeks approval time is normal, sit it out folks. :-)

oh eek!

So basically if Apple doesn't review it soon then I'm going to shafted... not helped by some folk starting to send me semi-aggressive "where the f**k is it" email...

The only feedback I've had back from Apple involved issues with mature content and violence as apparently the game was too 'deep' for a reviewer to play through completely to determine if there were hidden nasties.

I guess the tag line: "You shoot stuff, the end", escaped their attention.

By the end of this week I will resubmit with bug fixes, and a different description - lets hope I get a different reviewer or at least someone who will be more forthcoming with feedback...

>too 'deep' for a reviewer to play through completely to determine if there were hidden nasties.

probably making them aware that this is simply a port of a very well known game (i.e. link here and to reviews of cube) would make them see that there are no "nasties" besides the obvious ones..?

#31: Available within next few days

by a~baby~rabbit on 11/19/2008 03:35, refers to #28

It has now been approved by Apple... pity it's the old version with lots of bugs in it, but luckily getting the newer version approved should be a lot faster.

Remember folks - it's a tech demo. So don't lecture me on the poor fps or awkwardness of the controls!

how many days should it take to release the new update?
and a good hint:
replace menu by jump button and jump by menu.
