Luminati, iPhone porting update.

Posted on | March 9, 2010 | No Comments

Just a week ago I started looking at xcode (Objective-C). Yesterday I got most pieces in place and the porting of Luminati is now coming along quite well.
It took me some time to get used to the syntax (it was ages since I coded C or C++).
I’m using cocos2D as API for graphics since it already supports most features that the game requires. All graphics from the flash actionscript 3 version of LUMINATI can be reused with minor adjustments in size ´n ratio. I will post a little clip of the iPhone version later this week. We’re also going to add a few more powerups like “Black mist”, “Windmill” & add some other goodies.
Oh, don’t forget to check out my latest theme “Until death do us part 1″ in the “epic orchestral section” of my mp3 player.

At the moment I’m totally into Regina Spektor, just listen to the songs “The call”, “Laughing with”, “Eet”, “Genius next door”. Guess I like the songs so much due to the fact it’s all based around a naked piano, which is the first instrument I started out with at a very young age. It feels like the circle is closing.
The songs also have the haunting melodies with an ethnic yet classical mixture that really keep you sucked in. It’s just sooo perfect!

Damn, I must get going with my own piano album, it’s been a while since I released a new album (think the last album was the Moody Blues tribute album I did a cover of “Blue world” in 2006). 2010 here we go!!!

Time for some coffee!!!
