Porting TGB game from PC to Mac and iTGB?

by Daniel Hopkins · in iTorque 2D · 10/03/2009 (4:44 pm) · 3 replies

Hey,

I was recently thinking about purchasing the iTGB engine, but was disappointed to find it only runs on a Mac system. So, I was wondering if it was possible for me to get a really cheap Mac laptop, make the game in TGB on my PC, port it to the laptop, and then use the laptop to make the i-version?

Thanks.

Well, you can run iTGB on your windows machine, like I do.

However when you build the project into an Xcode project, that's when you need a mac.

Any mac that supports leopard should work (since it needs the iPhone SDK).

Mac mini is the cheapest option, but previous generation MacBooks are also dropping. Another price drop for the computers in general is coming in a couple of weeks, rumours say, so the middle of the month might be a great time to buy a Mac. Just make sure it's Intel-based.
