Apple MacBook as Dev System

[headkaze]

Actually having interpreters in your app is fine, as long as they are not installed onto the iPhone. So I think you could link in a Lua interpreter library and use it internally no problems. That is what I read the other day anyway as Flash and I are looking at adding some scripted parts for the Shamen in the intro levels so I have been reading up on it.

as long its internal, its no problems (and it dont compile internal and such). I read the same as well. Elsewise its would been pretty hard to create rpg games without scripting in some art.

Lol, I think this game is still secret, includning the name (even its not very much), this thread is on public area.

Oh noes, so it is based on a semi-rock semi-techno English band of the late '80s and early '90s? Es are good, and all?

[spacefractal]

my last line comments was to headkaze , because the game we working on is still secret as well.....

[Zzaped!]

I was able to see that, couldn't resist   ing and making a play on the slip, not a very interesting band but the 'Es are good' line got them a lot of play at big events, and they were called the Shamen .

You have probably come across the change to Apple's license agreement by now, but if not thought this might be of interest.

Thread title is flash compiler but it covers more than that.

I just got my MacBook Pro yesterday.

I moaned over the price of the AppleCare plan when I was at the store, so the guy knocked £50 off the price. LOL.

I haven't opened it yet. I have a friend coming over tonight, to watch Doctor Who, and he's a real nerd/hardware/techfreak, and I'm sure he'd be interrested in pulling all the things out of the box...so I'll let him.

[flash]

Let him? ? ? Madness!

The best bit about new kit is opening the box!

You must be all heart!

[Sokurah]

Yeah, that's me - mostly heart...and a big set of brass ones too.

My friend just buggered off, so I'm on the Mac now - downloading Xcode 3.2.

[flash]

Err... Woot!

Good luck mate

That Apple have did with the tos changes can have been illigal and monopol., just like what MS did for Internet Explorer, so a least in EU its would been actuelly illigal (MS lost in EU).

Personly I Actuelly hope Apple lost that, so we have a much more fair tos. Etc any tools that talk to xCode, so you need compile the final code your self, should been legal. Any tools that compile directly without xCode should been illigal would been most fair I think).... Also they can't forcing ads companies that way too. Its really a major issue here.

PS. Let see what happens after release of OS4, and I have not actuelly worked on Dreals etc, due music here and I did have a another music project as well (not a game as well).

PPS. Im late with that, sorry, but congra with your Mac, sokky

Thanks...but shame on you.
...but you can redeem yourself by helping a bit with that damn fmod module when you get back from vacation.

[spacefractal]

Did you not read in the secret game thread? Im home. For mac i did not use fmod and just use blitzmax own, that works fine on mac. I  an look on that so our game compile currecly on mac. Pm me (not sure I have the fmod I directly gave you)
