Hi Cara,
Yeah, but I can't just write a program in Java or Python on my Linux box
and slap it on my iPhone right? I still have to end up creating some app
using Object C and the iOS SDK or it won't work. At least that's my
understanding of iOS development as it currently stands.

Orin, Is that a question or a statement? ;)
No, you can use other languages. However depending on what they are, they may
need to be interpreted into Obj C.
For example, I can place lines of C++ code right in the middle of my Obj C code
and it works just fine. Not all languages will behave like this though…
Smiles,
Cara :)

You know, does Apple only let you code games in Objective C? That's kind of a
slap in the face to people who prefer other languages such as Python. I'm in
the Mac dev program so I'd love to create a game, but I can't get my head
around BGT, which means I won't be able to get my head around Objective C. I
was looking at Patyon and the syntax and everything is just easier, plus I like
how you can test if something works or if you are doing it right in the Python
shell.

Hi Thomas, yes, as of right now, not including some members I've not approved
yet, we have 1238 people on VIPhone which is the iOS users' list.
So yes, there is most definitely a thriving community here and mine is just one
list! :)
So I'd honestly encourage anyone who has thought of developing for iOS to get a
Mac of some kind, an iOS device and start coding with Objective C! :) There's
totally a market for it!
People really want more games that are not only accessible, but that are
creative in their accessibility. I.E. There are already many games which are
accessible on iOS, but really taking the idea of audio games and running with
it to bring a richer audio experience as many audio game developers for Windows
are used to doing would be fabulous for the iDevices. Furthermore, there is
actually also even a sighted market for audio games on the iDevices which you
really don't see on the PC / Mac.
Anyway, very interesting topic indeed. I do hope people here will start
realizing this market is not only improving but is actually exploding over
night. -Seriously…
anyway, have a terrific night!…
Smiles,
Cara :)

Hi Cara,
Wow! Thanks for sharing. I wasn't aware the Mac and iOS community was that
large either. However, I do know where you are coming from though.
The Linux community is often under rated here as well because I've gotten to
know people over on the Orca List, the Speakup List, Emacspeak List, Ubuntu
Accessibility List, etc and while there is a certain amount of overlap between
lists the community does seem to be fairly large now. Especially, among foreign
blind users that can't afford the price of Windows or Mac. Perhaps this opinion
that there aren't enough Linux or Mac users around to make it worth a
developer's time is simply because the people who say those things haven't
spent time on lists where Mac and Linux users hang out.

Hi trouble, I know your sentiments seem correct in your assertion about the
amount of Windows gamers vs potential Mac / iOS etc gamers, but let me share
something.
Perhaps you already know I moderate two lists for visually impaired Mac / iOS
users. On only one of those lists alone there are at least three times as many
members as on this one. -And, we're getting about 10 to 20 new members each
week on each list…
So to say that there is only a hand full of potential Mac / iOS gamers is not
quite right. :) -Know what I mean?…
Thanks, and have an awesome evening!…
Smiles,
Cara :)
