2 years ago Hi, I think it is totally possible! The game already compiles and runs on Mac, so an Xcode project can already be generated. I think the main obstacles are:
- Obtain or build iOS compatible versions of libraries (SDL, FMOD, ffmpeg, etc).
- Implement any platform-specific functions for iOS (mostly in FileSystem at this time).
- Deal with any code signing/provisioning complexities.
- Implement any extra gameplay logic. The game relies on a decent number of keyboard and mouse inputs that'd need to be translated to touch-based inputs or on-screen buttons.
I am excited and interested in implementing additional platforms like iOS, but there is still a decent amount of work to get the game "feature complete" on Windows and Mac. Even if I got it running on iOS right now, you probably wouldn't get very far!
Just found your project while searching for a way to run GK3 on iOS. Do you think it will be possible to add support for iOS in the future? An iPad would be one of the best platforms to run this game.
