This looks very interesting:

I'm gonna check it out, but anyone interested in Apple development (who has a Mac) may want to check it also. Dave, if you're bored and looking for something to keep you busy (with the prospect of earning), this might be just the ticket.

I'll let you know how it goes...

Pffft I was only looking for a C/C++ integration for Game Center. I thought this engine was going to be C/C++ based too, but it's all Objective-C.

Still, if you can be arsed to learn Obj-C, this still looks good. In fact I may still bag it just for the editors...

You mean join the developer program? Yeah, it's only £59/year and way more useful than subscribing to DCUO ;)

You get access to source code samples and a forum. Plus you can (legitimately) test on hardware and actually submit stuff for sale.

I'm about to rip apart the GKTapper sample for Game Center (sic) leaderboards and achievements, because the lazy-assed world hasn't bothered to wrap it in C++ for me to effortlessly steal. The inconsiderate bastards :)

The forum is kind of hit and miss - but you can get answers if your problem isn't too weird and you provide good contextual information. It's also frequented by Apple engineers, so you get answers from the "horses mouth". However, in my latest query, it wasn't the Apple guy that came up with the answer, it was someone random... But hey - I got the answer.
