Hi, How are you everybody? I want to buy a IPhone. which will be good with low cost?

If cost is your concern, you can't beat the iPhone 3gs.

It's the oldest ( that I know of), but on ebay you can find them for under $50 usually.

YOu can check statistics if you wish, and I have no idea 'how many users' still have them and use them actively for gaming, but its certainly the best bargain going atm.

To get a newer phone, you either need a lot of money or be willing to accept a 2 year contract and pay money for the phone every month plus a VERY expensive contract with your choice of provider. That's just not acceptable for a lot of us on limited incomes.

Just remember,,TO 'submit' your finished game/app on the apple app store, you need to register (free) as a developer, then to post the item there, you need to pay $99 upfront , but on top of that, apple requires you to have all this as a minimum:

So, make sure you meet all of that. If you have a mac already I suspect you already do, but those that don't are in for a big surprise if they are trying to do dev work, without spending a lot of money in the process on expensive hardware. Apples hardware is very innovative and I like it for that reason, but I don't like the up front money required to    to dev work .

Android would be a lot less cumbersome. >_>

My apple ID is also active, but little did I know when I signed up for it, is that to get apps on the app store (  other than paying $99/year vs androids $35?, you must have a mac capable of submitting them and working 'with xcode 5'..

2gb ram
mountain lion at least

and your computer must match these requirements, or its a no go, so be cautious if you're getting a new system, etc.:

Happy coding wink

OH and btw, even if you are starting out, its VERY easy to get going, trust me I know from experience.

It's 'better' for time and effort with a 'dev' on your side, but you can easily do it on your own if time isn't a huge deal.

There are awesome tutorials on youtube for example, but all of them require at 'least' xcode 4.x and most xcode 5 I think.

have fun

to build your game for iOS you need to use xcode and later to publish it you need to be registered an apple developer,
I will give you some infos, but if you really don't know the basic of programming I suggest you find a developer to help you.

1 : register an apple id and download and install xcode : https://developer.apple.com/xcode/

2 : get Maratis source code from svn : https://code.google.com/p/maratis/source/checkout
on mac you can do it using a command line, or install an svn client :
- create a directory somewhere for example : "/Maratis"
- open a command line and go inside : "cd /Maratis"
- then type : "svn checkout http://maratis.googlecode.com/svn/"

3 : open "branches/iPhonePublishing/Project/example.xcodeproj" with xcode

4 : import you own game project with all the data in "Resources" on the left panel

5 : build and run

I'd like to use Maratis to build a very simple project (just walk around some 3d models). I m a graficartist and not talented in scripting and producing code and for now it works quite fine. The main problem I have is to let it run on IPhone/IPad. I ve looked around the internet and the forum and it says that it should work using cmake and xcode. But I have absolutely no idea how to use these tools order to get my aim.

Is there any detailed instruction to that topic I ve missed?
Could anybody help me?

thanks for now
