Now I know that tgc are working on agk and have done a great job! But There are two things, that I think would make agk better. One thing is 3d graphics, I know there is dbpro, but i do not think that dbpro runs on mobile platforms. The second thing is the capability of making third party commands. But I still have to say that agk is the best mobile IDE out there, in my opinion.


P.s. I use udk for my 3d graphics for the iPhone, I just would rather want to work with agk instead of udk.

3D is in the pipeline for a future release, not sure what you mean by 3rd party commands?

Of you mean plugins I'm not sure how that would work with all the native languages...?

The best way for plugins that are not graphics primitives would be to provide a Lua gateway in Tier 1. Available for nothing on all platforms and very powerful.

Lua does sound like a good idea! But what would be a very good addon would be ai commands and maybe some light commands. But the one thing that I would predict is after all of mobile devices run with agk and there is 3d objects... I think agk will go to console games!

3D for AppGameKit is definitely on your roadmap. We have a game creator store with nearly 5000 game ready models to unleash onto AppGameKit users, and about 10 years of experience creating easy and fast 3D authoring commands and tools. Our engine is also OpenGL 3D under the hood. We just need to finish off our 2D offerings and get our foundations solid before we build upwards in glorious 3D

I know that 3d is still far away, and personally I have no big hurry, but just for my own curiosity, what file format will 3d objects in AppGameKit use? darkbasic used .X since it was directx based.

Too far away to confirm a format, but my guess is that it will be something that already exists and probably a web 3D format. OBJ is fine for static models, but we would want something that can handle animations, multiple UV layers, multi-material, e.t.c.

That's why I asked cos finding a good format that supports as many things as possible is tricky on this one!
