I know it's been quiet around here lately, and apart from a huge PHP/Javascript/Ajax job that sucked up most of my time over the summer I've been secretly hacking away at an iPhone/iPod touch game called
Pinch 'n Pop! I (almost reluctantly) download the iPhone SDK a few months back expecting to build some of the examples then get bored and move on, but it was surprisingly refreshing to code for such a closed system. After a week-long crash course in Objective-C/Cocoa I was pretty much sold - though I quickly ditched Objective-C for straight C once I had a few wrappers around the Cocoa Touch APIs. I like the idea of Objective-C, and it might make sense for UI-heavy stuff, but ugh - not for games...
Pinch 'n Pop is in Apple's hands at the moment but not yet available in the App Store. I'll post an update once that happens.
