A Vacation Project.

Ok, so I have some free time, and for the time being no major distractions, Its Holiday time.

I wanted to start a project, so the idea is to write an iPhone/Android game. Its been a long time since I wrote such a thing, I have learnt a few things in the years gone by, so lets give it a go.

This was an old blog site I had to build an audience for a web application. I have built about 3-4 prototypes, but getting the UI exactly where I want is taking time. So I'm taking a break to do something different.

I want to use SDL (Simple Direct Media Layer) to host the graphics, everything will use openGLES, and I hope with minimal work can compile on OSX (my dev platform) and IOS/Android.

The game idea is for something similar to an old school Defender, but with controls, and ship flight style tweaked to make it more playable with thumbs on a mobile.

I hope to document the process as I go along :- lets go.
