Universe Sandbox 2 iOS App?
« on: February 10, 2011, 11:04:21 AM »
Would it be possible to make us2 an app in the near future?  I'm asking because it would be awesome to have an app like that on my iPod touch, even If it doesn't have all the features it would be an amazingly unique app, thousands of people would likely Download it, even if it was twenty bucks, (most apps are one) think about that.

Supernova is already making Universe Sandbox DS.

Dan would need to learn an all new programming language. I doubt it would happen.

I have to agree.

And I'd need to buy a Mac. If someone gives me one it will happen sooner.

I would suspect that if I ever develop for Apple products a Mac version would happen before an iOS version. I am inspired by their desire for simplictiy.

I do own an iPhone 4, upgraded from a 3G. The idea is very appealing; I'm convenced.

In the meantime, there's lots to improve and add to the current version of Universe Sandbox 2.

maybe usefull?

and not many people have Mac's, making one would be almost useless.

Ipod? I don't think it has enough power to run Universe Sandbox (I or II) and Dan is way too busy making the PC version.

I don't think anyone would use their Ipod's etc. for serious simulations when they can use computers, so I think it'd be okay to make it 2D on those.
