G'day all, big fan of the site. Just wanted to know what people think of my idea. I have just created this for *h**s and giggles. Once again this is only an idea I have no really talent in programming. So I was just thinking if some legend if they like it could wack in some code and bring this idea to life. If so great. Would love to hear some feed back on what people think. http://downloads.fims.com.au/Multi%20Block.pdf

Interesting. It would be beastly if both color and shape mode were somehow combined, and if more specials were available.

Thank you all for the feedback. I did get in contact with another development company here in the Aus and there saying $40k to create it in single player mode and $60k got muilt player mode on the iphone would this be about right ?

Yeah, well first off pretty sure that's a ripoff. You'd be better off learning the code yourself, coding it, and all. Could do that under 500 dollars, easy.

It just takes some time.

Yes, you do. Well then your best bet is to purchase a used mac mini then, the ones that are the equivalent to a cpu. Then you need display, mouse and keyboard.

And then you code it.

Java is used to make java
To make flash games you have to learn action script.

Java is used to make Java code, C++ is used to make C++ code and Action Script is used to make Flash games. You could make the game in Java or C++ but it would take a long time to learn either of these languages to a great extent since they're very advanced programming languages. However, the compilers are free so if you want to make a game at no charge whatsoever go with C++ or Java.

Unfortunately, I don't think Java programs are compatible with the iPhone.

The problem with programming with Flash is that Apple has refused to (for lack of a better word) stock apps made with 3rd party compilers, like Flash's.
