Contract Work on the iPhone
So I have been busy for the past couple of weeks. My old producer contracted me to work on an iPhone application for him. The project was to create a slide show for a comic named Sparks by William Katt. You can check out the comic at http://www.catastrophiccomics.com/. Not only will there be a slide show but there will also be a movie which will have voice acting and special effects throughout the book. It came out pretty nice overall.
The biggest challenge was the fact that I have never developed for the iPhone or the Mac. I also have solely been using a PC for software and game development so it was another transition to work on the Mac for the iPhone. It was uncomfortable for the first couple of days but I managed to integrate well with the development GUI. I also had to learn objective-C which essentially is a new language on top of C++. It was somewhat of a pain due to the similarities and differences to C++ but I managed work through it. I always like to try new things so I was intrigued in working on the Mac and the iPhone. It was a different experience which I did enjoy and If the opportunity arises I would not mind to continue to work on the Macintosh.
