Looking very good Conor - is this in Torque or C++ ?

The objective is to defend the bases. There will be tanks and choppers and bombers attacking them in the next video :-)
Here's some art to brighten up the thread:

All script so far, no C++. the iPad is much faster than an iPhone in terms of loading and framerate.The objective is to defend the bases. There will be tanks and choppers and bombers attacking them in the next video :-)

And yeah, the 1Ghz A4 in the ipad ensures that scripting becomes a non topic.
Already the non-boosted ARM8 as it is present in the 3GS with its 600mhz and larger cache (than 2nd gen devices) solves the problem in nearly all cases

Video 2 - showing some enemies and combat. I also added an audio commentary to explain what's happening.

Look excellent Conor - love those 3d models! Can you pinch to zoom in/out and how big is the map?

Scott - no zooming. The sprites look best at 1 to 1 resolution. The map is 1536 x 1024 so it's about 1.5 times the iPad's screen size. I wanted the player to have to pan around to be aware of the entire battle, so that enemies could sneak up on a base from an unexpected angle while you're focused on one area.
