Super Foul Egg for iPad Released

Finally, after months of procrastination:

• Super Foul Egg for iPad

This one got straight into the App Store.

Obvious changes from the OSX version are:

• Two player mode removed (still got a bug in the garbage transmission code);
• Controls designed for the iPad touch screen;
• Controls displayed via icons on the menu screens;
• Pause and exit buttons whist in-game.

Less obvious changes are:

• Multithreaded AI;
• All code refactored.

I’ll open up the source code soon.

Give the game a try and let me know what you think!

EDIT:

Apologies for its current scrappiness; adding networking support has meant changes all over the place. I remember reading an article years ago by a developer who suggested that networking should be built into a game from the start rather than added later as it’s a huge pain. I definitely agree with him.
