Hey guys,
I'm a long time user of DBPro, and thought I might finally have a go with AppGameKit, since DBPro's been a long time without updates...
I have an idea for a game I'd would really like to work on. I know there are several similar projects which are growing in popularity, but I can only remember the name of one, sorry
http://mapattack.org/
The idea behind Mapattack (and most of these games) is that virtual locations in the game's map are placed around you geographically, and moving on the map means you need to walk or run with your iPod/Pad/Phone/whatever.
In terms of graphics, this wouldn't be so hard to produce. My question is whether AppGameKit could handle the location-based parts!
I guess this would mean that AppGameKit would need to be able to pinpoint your location, and use geofencing to make sure you aren't allowed outside of the specific area, and detect when you come close gameplay objective areas. Of course, it would also need to show the position of other players on the map too!
Is this even possible? I know a lot of people are saying that as awesome as AppGameKit v1 is, it's still a little bit feature-lacking in some ways, and being able to develop something this complex sounds as though it might be asking too much of it!
Thanks for any feedback

If I recall, the geolocation stuff in AppGameKit is bugged or not working - only going by people complaining about it. Which is a real shame, I've had a few ideas like this that I can't really put into practice yet.

Maybe it's something that you could get working with Tier2.

From the Help Docs:


Hmm, perhaps after Bullet Physics is implemented? [So end of the year this should be working I guestimate]



I am always confused with DBPro and AppGameKit being used in C++, nobody has yet said to me, Yes you can use ANYTHING that is C++ based and get them to work with GDK/AGKV2, this is definitely missing from the websites too... makes me feel I am limited to the same command set and not much more so why use C++ anyway... [I am sure it is the open ended usage but until I have been told this by someone close or already doing so or have tried it myself, it remains an uncertainty...]



EDIT

I meant to say, From the latest Help Docs of the current release of V2 for Backers

EDIT 2

Just remembered you need C++ for Mac development, but I recall you can do it with Tier 1 byte code as well right?...

I have not seen an AppGameKit game running in a Mac yet, but I have on iPads... no Mac support? [Trots over to AppGameKit boards]
