CarHero - iPhone retro car game created using windows sdk DragonfireSDK available on AppStore

Available on AppStore,

CarHero is a remediation of retro Game & Watch kind of game that was designed specifically for the iPhone/iPod Touch. The stepped movement of the game and beat sound give you clue on when should you react in the game.

The game play is simple. You are driving a car in an opposite traffic flow. You play by moving your car to the left and right using the two arrow buttons at the bottom of the screen to avoid collision with oncoming cars. The score will be awarded for every step of your survival on the road. The game gets faster along the time and this will require your full attention on the road. In the case of panic or unavoidable collision, you can drive your car to the road shoulder which should be minimised because the score will be deducted. Your ultimate goal is to pursue for highest score by surviving the longest possible on the road.

This app was created with the new DragonFireSDK - the easiest way to develop games for iPhone.

thats really cool. I didn't even know you could make (official) apps with windows! How powerful is the SDK you used? I'm on mac right now but I am thinking about buying a PC as well for windows development.

@mloweprogramming Thank you for your comment. You could even use Flash CS5 to make apps for iPhone (but you need to register with the developer program $99/year). For dragonfiresdk, you don't have to but you will sell your app under dragonfiresdk's company. But i personally think C/C++ is more convenient for most programmers and it's quite powerful too. Look at the APIs that this SDK supports here:

@mloweprogramming i just found out that if you use dragonfiresdk, you also need to register for iphone/ipad developer program ($99/year) before you could sell your app on AppStore. it was different when i was testing it during its beta testing period last time.

Cool what did you use to make this?

I used DragonfireSDK. It's an iphone sdk on windows. You use C/C++ to code your app. They have great simulator, you can also test accelerometer function using the simulator too. You can check their website for more details
