    I'll definitely make more games for iOS devices. I don't have an iPad yet, but I just renewed my iOS developer account. What I don't like about the developer program is how complicated and time-consuming some things are, espacially with code-signing and the provision profiling portal. It's much easier when compared to other developer programs such as Google Web Store or Android development.

    At the moment SDL 1.3 with Pascal seems the most viable option for as I can't get Objective-Pascal to work and using Pascal code as a static library in C code (as shown by the FPC iOS template) is not my personal favorite.

    You are a bit wrong unfortunately. You have hardware acceleration on iOS with SDL 1.3 without having to use OpenGL, I'm not 100% sure which backend is used but I'm guessing CoreGraphics.

    Why is the forum eating my replies

    I have been stopped by Apple's stupid rules. I tried to sign up as iPhone developer long ago, but they demanded me to fax documentation about my company. Fax, what is that? I tried E-mailing the document, they wouldn't accept it. Never told me why. I don't know what they tried to prove.
