Building multimedia apps in Torque for iPhone

by Sandro Massarani · in iTorque 2D · 11/01/2009 (8:29 am) · 4 replies

Hello guys,

I´m new to Torque and iTorque and I want to know if it´s possible (probable is) and easy to do simple applications using just text, buttons and pictures, just like a children´s books, and applications that also uses video and navigation bars, for courses like yoga, history and others. The objective is to port this apps to iPhone using Torque.

Thanks!! :)

Torque 2D for the iPhone would be an overkill for that type of project (since you won't be needing all of the game specific features it comes with).
I'd use Appcelerator (http://www.appcelerator.com).

I'd just use straight UIViews and UIWebViews for that.

Thanks!

Looked in appcelerator.com, very good (bookmarked for study), but I want something that is not web based or related.

Really the best solution is Objective-C (a good language by the way), but something in this style made with Torque would be interesting.

There's also Cocos2D for iPhone, if you want readymade transitions and fades. Torque's GUI system has more controls, though. Cocos2D just has labels and buttons at the moment.
