I have some pretty good game ideas I'm suprised that never made it to the app store yet. But I'm a windows xp user so I can't use the gamesalad program. Is it true only mac users can make iPhone games? Does this mean I have to get a crappy MacBook just so I can make an iPhone game?
Uh, yes, you need a brilliant, reliable, speedy, amazing-software-available Mac. In fact, you already have one. An iPhone or iPod Touch. They have the same innards. Windows just can't make sense of all the tools and APIs. Mac Minis are fast. Go buy one. By the way, you want to make really good iPhone games? Unity or Xcode.
