A good game - "Grid Wars".
Who play one to know.

So.
I try to repeat this game.
I propose to watch what I got about a week.

Of course this is not the original - "Grid Wars".
This is just my attempt.

Enjoy.


The question.
People who make games for - "IPhone".

Your game someone buy ?

The programmer of Grid wars was served with a "cease and desist" order  by the BizarreCreations as its a Geometry Wars rip off. He removed it form his own site under the threat of legal action, surprised the demo is still floating about.

I would not choose it personally for a project for the same reasons but the choice is yours.  :noggin:

Not my type of iPhone game but there are none like it on the iPhone though, maybe because because this type of game requires a lot of controls(two sets of directional controls on the 360 and PC) with a large screen area and screen area/input on the iPhone is limited. Actually there's not many good Shmups for the same reason. :(

Defence games seem to be the most sellable now... I buy mainly puzzlers.
Cheers,

Ian.

I just wanted(want) to ask ?
Gernot build on "GLBasic" games for - "IPhone".
He had something to sell ?

bigsofty

Yes, here is Gernots iPhone games pluse a few more...

http://www.glbasic.com/forum/index.php?topic=3857.0

My advice, go on the App Store, you can list the most popular sorted by sales for that week easily.

In reality, its a gut instinct, if you feel it will be popular or you really want to make a game in a certain genre for yourself then just go ahead!  :good:
Cheers,

Ian.

2 questions.

1.
Gernot - may(can) I ask, but why IPhone ?
There are other models.
NOKIA - for example.

2.
I search but did not find "C++"(audio) code.
Anyone can help me with "C++" code for GLBasic ?

For example.
Playmusic, Stopmusic - in "GLBasic" ok.
But rewind the music forward or backward not possible - in "GLBasic" without "Inline" code.

Somebody help.

1. Everyone and their grandma has iPhones = more to buy your stuff

2. No idea, would like to be able to position playback in a sample on any OS.

I'm sorry.

No good - "Inline" tutorials.
And the examples that exist in other projects are not working.(and examples of other projects do not work.)

I just wanted(want) to create a audio player on - GLBasic.

"Inline", not for me.

All thanks.

MrTAToad

I need a simple - "Inline" code.
Because, I do not understand in - "Inline".

(connection(insert) dll and glbasic) - "Inline" code.
(for music Timeline) - "Inline" code.
(for visualization) - "Inline" code.

All for music management.

About - Visualizations.
I can do so that anyone can assemble(create) and insert your visualization(picture) in the(this) program.
As here(look here):

I need a simple working - "Inline" code.

Kitty Hello

Oh. You need a FFT to get the equalizer or visualization of what sounds you play. I have no idea how to do that :(

On this address is an interesting program:
http://www.blitzforum.de/showcase/260/

I thought(think) what this possible and in "GLBasic".
