I've come up with an idea for an iPhone app that hasn't (yet) been done thousands of times already.

In fact I can't find a single similar game.

I just have to teach myself how to program in OpenGL

If anyone has any good links to help me with this they would be much appreciated

Thanks!

The Red Book FTW! Linky is in the useful links list, but it's a few versions old there.

Well, my learning is coming on very nicely (thanks to a couple of other threads) and tonight I'm going to be installing SIO2 to help with physics and collision detection.

This is the first game Idea that I have pursued to anything more than a thought and I'm really quite liking it.

The last game I wrote was in uni and it was a tron light bikes game in 2D written (not very well) in Java with my own collision detection algorithm.

Since then I have learnt a crap load about timed events and libraries and stuff.

I'm actually quite excited to see the outcome and I'll be looking for testers and feedback at some point if anyone would like to volunteer? There are a couple of areas which I need to think about first. One of which is how not to confuse the user by making gravity act in an odd direction.

(It'll be a while yet though) A couple of weeks at least before I get a very basic version together. I still need to learn how to use Blender if I'm going to use that for modelling.

Ooooh count me in....

How is this coming along, Oli?

LOL! Slowly, thanks for asking

Since my last post I've only managed a few nights working on the app. I've learnt a hell of a lot of 3D stuff and managed to get something on the screen that could be controlled and manipulated.

I've mainly been working on something for my Dad's company though (more iPhone stuff) so I haven't had much spare time.

It's still coming along though.
