iPhone Touch demo and howto compile

[Uncle]

Hello all,

I had a play around this afternoon and came up with this...

http://www.glbasic.com/showroom.php?site=games&game=iphonetouchfeatureexample&lang=en

it's basically a demo showing the touch control of the iphone programmed in GLBasic.

I also made this quick video to show how to compile to the iphone...

hope it helps.


Cheers

Should be useful to everyone!

As long as they have a Mac. And an iPhone/iPod Touch:(

I want one now.

Nice one Uncle

If you need anything compiled for an iMac, I can do it for you.

Cant help with the iPhone/iPod though

Hi folks,

I downloaded the demo of GLBasic as I am interest in developing for the iphone. Is the demo not able to compile for the iphone?

If it is not a released feature, can you estimate when it will be available? And will GlBasic support the iphones accelerators too?

[MrTAToad]

If the demo is V6, then it wont - you need to try the V7 RC2 version - available from the Shoutbox

[Uncle]

And will GlBasic support the iphones accelerators too?

Yes it will support accelerators.  I think it treats them as joystick inputs.  If I get time I will try and make a demo of this as well.

Nice video Uncle.

Accelo is a joystick in glbasic. Tryout joystick commands and dont forget to normalize for smoothly function

you like iPhone?
try things and let us know if its working or not and what must be added to glbasic. (not GPS, its working but hidden yet)

Thanks for the info!

The accelerometers are working well.  The only thing I haven't been able to do is figure out when the orientation of the iPhone has changed i.e. landscape to portrait etc.  Well I did work out a method but it was flaky at best.  I've searched the iPhone SDK and Im still not sure how they do it.  I think its part of the UIViewController class.  But it would be good to have a get function to return the current orientation, then we can decide on how to handle the event.

Gernot is working for this.

To get the current orientation, just check which axis has the strongest amplitude. There's an image in the manual in uhm... "platform specific stuff" or so...

I'm working on a native landscape mode, where you can use SETSCREEN to rotate it.
