Indeed. Indies seem to expect that every little title they produce will be picked up by customers. If only the market actually worked that way!...
Asphalt 4 showed that racing games with orientation changes is feasible on the iPhone. The iPad should actually do this feature *better* than the...
My reading of Apple's guidelines is that an orientationless presentation like a game board is an acceptable way of handling the issue. If you have...
To echo DrummerB, the current official word is "all orientations, no exceptions". Apple is reviewing it, but I suspect we'll be stuck with the...
I see where you're coming from. Unfortunately, I don't think Apple will extend the folder metaphor to the iPad main screen. If and when the issue...
Depends what you mean by "folder system". Under the covers, the iPhone OS has a complete file system. In fact, each application deployment looks...
Jobs hired this guy a few years ago: http://www.letterp.com/~dbg/ Giampaolo literally wrote the book on Database File Systems. The next...
I can see how it would seem that way. :p FWIW, I wrote an article* a few years ago on how Database File Systems could greatly improve the user...

What the heck are you talking about? If a game provider charges money for an iPad-only game, you will have to pay for that game again regardless...
That a Mac monitor, a Mac-mini drive, and the side of a MacBook. The only thing close to the actual iPad is the name. And even that just...
Fair warning: If your plan is to do a quick conversion of your web game and then rake in the profits, it's unlikely that you'll succeed. When...
Technically, OS X is based on the Mach microkernel. Mach requires a host kernel; some form of Unix to which it can attach. NeXT used BSD4.3. OS X...
In my case, I have had a game with two four-way controls that I couldn't port to the iPhone because it didn't fit the platform. I'm considering...
You missed the best one from the well-thats-not-very-exciting dept.: Taco has been eating those words for nearly a decade now. :D
From a marketing perspective though, it doesn't make sense. All the people who don't have the game for the iPhone and download the game for the...
