Hello Cubers!
Me and a couple of fellow coders are looking for a project for iOS (iPhone, iPod, iPad). We are thinking of working on porting AssaultCube to iOS (ok, we started and finished a few things already) so that iOS has a decent FPS and makes cube engine look pretty good, not to mention advertise AC :D However, I was asking around and got quite a few mixed reviews. The original Cube has been ported to iOS so it is proven possible, but it isn't that great. We are planning to make the look and feel of AC 1.1 in iOS as close to the computer version. However, a few things can't be done. Here is a list of pros and cons:
Pros:
*Portable version of AC that can be played anywhere
*More "advertising" for AC
*Nice FPS for iOS
*Less hackers due to the app only being able to be downloaded/installed via Apple App Store (even if source is available)
*Gives me something to do besides troll and flame :D
Cons:
*Portability factor makes the whois command pretty much useless (constantly moving people will have a different IP address everytime)
*Screenshots and demos can't be downloaded and saved (until we figure it out or you jailbreak your device because you can't access the app files)
*Commands and keybinds are almost impossible
*6-"keys"+Accelerometer
Options:
*Seperate Masterserver
Vote and give me your input pl0x!
Thanks,
JGAN
