Depth Charge

[rbandrews]

I've gotten a good version 1 of Depth Charge for the iPhone. It works on the iPod Touch too of course, and there's an icon if you want to add it to the home screen. Rules are here. No Firefox support yet, probably tomorrow. Works in Safari though.

I think I am done making iPhone games until the SDK comes out. I had underestimated how irritating the tap delay would be, and the general smallness of the screen once the unremovable toolbars get taken out. I want dragging for marking spaces, and I want a fast tap-highlight-tap-click to drop a depth/sounding charge. I can't do either of those things in iPhone Safari, which makes it extremely limited and makes the game feel much slower than it really is.
