Hey guys,
First off, I'm sorry if this is a double post :D

Anyways, I just wanted to let everyone know that there is a way to use C++ on the iPhone and iPod Touch, it's called the Dragon Fire SDK.

hope it helps,

haha, that's great. Hopefully the ES dev team will be able to port ES to iPod Touch. Sadly, it's $50, but I think it's worth it :DD

Never mind that, I'm not paying... my life is meaningless once more (don't cry eat, be a man)... but if the ES team is up for it that would be epic! probably wont' though, never know I guess...

Think there's anything left in the camera fund? :lol:
Edit:
I'm probably not going to get it. I'm too broke. :(

Maybe but there isn't a big chance, they had to pay for pixel-con somehow(for their display and such also)? Or they used money out of pocket because there was no fund left but I'm sure people over donated :)


Peace Out,

I think it would be flippin sweet to see ES on the iPod Touch IMO.

If this could happen, I hope to donate:DD,

I think we will start to see A LOT more non casual (Not completely hardcore but not causal) games(Maybe more RPGS Hint, Hint, Elysian Shadows).

Don't tempt Falco! He has enough work to deal with already :lol:


In all seriousness though, I would definitely like to see a well executed RPG on the ipod touch.

There are some - have you checked out Zenonia, SEED and Hybrid? I love them, all of them seem to be Japanese developed, but non of them are turn-based though.

Edit: YAY, Final Fantasy 1 and 2 have been released for the iPhone/iPod touch, add them to the list of RPG's.

Hey guys,
I found a page that allows you to download an early beta of the DragonFireSDK for free:
http://ihackmyi.com/iphone/index.php?topic=4641.0

I hope someone can test it out and see if it's worth buying/donating:DD

EdiT:I found out from this video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjdJR_-ftns, that the only Objective-C you need to know is interfacing with the iPod/iPhone's hardware. :mrgreen:
