Advantages of developing on Windows.

by Yuho Oden · in iTorque 2D · 01/18/2010 (9:35 am) · 4 replies

Are there some advantages of developing iPhone App by using not Mac but Windows with Torque? How should I who has Intel Mac and Windows 7 use Torque? My Mac has RAM that are 4GB fewer than my Win7.

    Familiarity and the tools you have would be the only difference. If you need Photoshop and only have a Windows version, use that. If you have Photoshop on Mac, use that etc. You still need to do the final build and all the packaging on a Mac.

    Torsion is also on Windows, which is a big help. You will need to compile the program on a Mac though. It's unavoidable.

    Avoiding Mac is impossible, as such focusing the development on Windows can at best have "no drawbacks" technically

    You can use Windows for part of it, but anything that comes even remotely close to test it, optimize it and fix something is mac only as fixing problems on windows is meaningless, the iphone hardware is nowhere comparable (different cpu, totally different gpu, different os, ... :) )

    Thank you all.
    I might use Torque.
