Thanks Ian- I see my plan to take these questions to the forum to give you a rest from my constant badgering has backfired slightly!

Apologies for the first of I imagine many iphone questions- I have compiled a project in GLB using (I believe) the correct compile settings. I have moved the xcode over to the mac & tried to open the project in xcode but get the message:'iphone xcode project cannot be opened because the project file cannot be parsed'.

I wonder if it would please be possible for someone to put me right or point me in the direction of any documentation that might assist?

What I have done is to take an existing project file (very kindly done for me by a member of this user community) and basically renamed the project. I did not create the project 'from scratch'.

Kind regards, Shawn

Uncle,

A video is worth a thousand FAQs!- thanks- this is very helpful & very considerate of you to go to the effort of producing this.

Kind regards, Shawn

ok, so you went through the submission process & your app was approved after Apples license statement amendment, so thats good.

Mind you, I'm not really sure why I asked the question originally since I guess the only way to find out is to submit the app.

Cheers, Shawn

Hi All,

Following 'the announcement' from Apple, just wondering if anyone has had any 'new apps' submission or approval issues regarding phone apps originally written in GLB?  I can see from the news section of this website that this should not be the case, but was just wondering anyway.

Cheers, Shawnus

ok, thanks for the feedback.

Time really isnt on my side with 3 kids & a full time job- I reckon that if its just swapping a few graphics commands I will put this request up on the blitz forum & additionally fund a copy of GLbasic as well. I can get a mac & already have an ipod touch so I can test & tweak.

I think its a real shame that someone from GLbasic cant take this on as it would be a good endorsement for the capabilities of the language.

Thanks for the advice.

Kind regards, Shawn

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, sorry I mean 2 virtual cameras, one 'main' and one attached to the c-arm model (x ray machine).

I actually paid someone to do this (in Unity) as a proof of concept- the anatomical models need quite heavy optimisation but are still ok to view & the iphone supports 2 virtual cameras. I just wanted to make sure that the whole thing was not a non-starter from an iphone point of view, but is seems to be ok.

The problem is I need to maintain this application ongoing, but dont have the skill to actually develop it myself. Coming from DarkBasic & then more recently Blitz3D background I understand Basic, but moving to the Unity scripting language(s) is a step too far at the moment.

GLBasic additionally seems to be a more affordable way into the iphone as the Unity iphone licensing looks to be more expensive.

Hi Ian,

This approach (hourly rate) has worked for me in the past with Blitz & Unity developers- basically they give me their hourly rate, I send them a demo / requirements & they give me a quote with any required downpayment.

Doing pricing the 'other way around' can be problematic, a bit like going into MFI wanting a new kitchen & the salesman asking 'how much do you have to spend'. How much I have to spend is irrelevant, you give me a quote & I will tell you whether I can afford it or not.

Its an app - a fluoroscopy simulator for teaching clinical staff the fundamentals of using an x ray machine in a simulated environment- I have a demo available from my website:

http://vycaria.co.uk/index.html

There are no royalty options & I will need the source code as well.

Cheers, Shawnus

Hi all,

Just an enquiry:

I have a small project which I would like to push to the iphone and some consoles & wondered if someone might be able to do this & their hourly rates?

I would like to see previous work & following this I can supply the demo, blitz3D source code (if that helps) and all media.

The only constraint is that:
a) there is a requirement to support 2 cameras in the iphone.
b) one of the cameras must be 'inverted'

I know this is technically possible in Unity (as I have already paid for a unity programmer to create a similar demo) but I would need to make sure its possible in GLBasic, and that this functionality is exportable to the iphone.

Just as an idea, the demo is basically a camera set on a sphere which rotates (& zooms in and out) around some anatomical models resting on a piece of medical equipment. The medical equipment contains a camera which 'looks' at the models. All the models are 3ds.

I would be grateful if anyone could help me with this.

Kind regards, Shawnus
