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.

Sorry, an accident left me with memory loss a while ago, trying to get it back. (my mind too) I used to create my own games, maps, monsters,items etc. Now all is lost except some flashing thoughts of the past.
Forgive my ignorance and persistance please.

Heh, I had completely forgotten about this, but my brother just got an iPod Touch and downloaded Cube on it.

Never played a game with more awkward controls, but it's still awesome. (I still prefer it on pc...)

do you have instructions on how to compile it to run in the simulator?

some enet files were missing that I had to hunt down, had to set the include file path and when I finally got it to compile I get an Unknown Error when running it in the iphone simulator

Any instructions would be found on the fernLightning website. The only support advice I can offer is that intimacy with the original Cube code/algorithms and with the iphone development environment should help you through many issues.

See Appstore - updated with bug fixes and performance improvements.

This is likely to be the final iphone version.
