Hey all,

So one of the guys I worked with on the Cartesian Chaos game decided to have it ported over to the iPad. It was released about a week ago.

Check out www.retrotoast.com for details.

Ironically, I don't have an iPad, so I haven't actually played it myself. ;) Should anyone with an iPad be interested in doing a review, please contact me via the website's support email.

We're also thinking of revisiting the idea of pitching the PC version to schools, and also getting it back up for sale on the Retrotoast website, what with FNB going and enabling PayPal a while back. This might happen in the next month or so.

That's pretty cool, how much needed to be done to the game to get it running on iOS? Am I going to see an iPhone version soon too? ;)

I still reckon you're going to need epic stat tracking for schools.

It was pretty much a complete rebuild, done by another Dev that Daniel contracted. I assume they used objective C to develop it. According to Daniel, he looked into doing an iPhone version, but apparently the space you need to reserve per grid point as per Apple's standards is too big to allow enough points, so it's unlikely we'll see it on IPhone. How dare people have such big fingers!

Stats tracking would be cool, and perhaps passwords on user profiles. Depending on interest levels at the schools, I'll consider adding extra stuff like that. I kinda need this to at least have some positive indications of making money before I spend more time adding features. As it is I'm trying to resist the temptation to fix little things in the current version that annoy me. :)

It would be nice to see how this does on the app store! :O
