Does osu! work for the iPod Touch?
Of course it works for the iPod Touch! That's actually the device I test most with (because it's the only device I have). Also have people testing it on an iPhone and a 3g iPhone and 2nd generation iPod Touch. Do I have to jailbreak to use play the game? For now, yes, the only way you can play the game is to jailbreak your device. More information can be found here: http://blog.iphone-dev.org/ Do you plan on making osu! available on the App store? Let's say no. You're awesome! Can you port osu! to [INSERT PLATFORM HERE] since I don't have an iPhone?! No. I can't seem to jailbreak my device! Can you help me do it? Unfortunately, I'm hardly an expert. My advice is to check out other forums such as http://modmyi.com or http://ipodtouchfans.com to get much better support for your endeavours. Ok, I got osu! working, but now I get this message that says "Downloaded file does not appear to be a zip file..." when I try to download a song! Check out this post and read through the entire thread: viewtopic.php?p=115785#p115785 When will you port [INSERT FAVORITE PC osu! FEATURE HERE] to the iPhone osu! version? No idea. Maybe never. My intention was never to make a complete feature-by-feature port of the PC version of osu! What features do you have in mind for future versions of osu! then? Probably at the least, general storyboard support since that infrastructure is kind of already there. I'd probably wait a little bit for peppy to calm down with his storyboard editor and file changes just so that I can have a slower moving target to track. Online scoreboards are possible, but not being focused on. Multiplayer... may be stretching a bit, but who knows? Will you support OGG files? At this point of time there are no plans to implement ogg support. In order to play the few beatmaps that use ogg files, please convert the ogg files to mp3 and make the corresponding changes in the osu files. Will you support video backgrounds? Almost definitely not. Do you need/want help developing this? At this point, I'm going to say no... Somewhat due to the fact that I'm a bit embarrased of the code and partially because this is kind of a programming challenge for me to get familiar with the iPhone SDK. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? A woodchuck would chuck no amount of wood 'cause a woodchuck can't chuck wood. |

Best of luck with the dev, I'd love to try it out myself but am too poor to get an iPod Touch. I'm glad to hear the progress is really coming along! Need to get a hold of me? IRC or Forum PM me! If I'm not around, leave me an email at remmyx25@ppy.sh !!

After that period, I will make osu! free. This will also be released on Cydia and will always be free there. I'm curious to see if it will be cracked and distributed even though the same version is already free on Cydia. You know how to set up promotional codes on the app store right? You can just give out the codes to mods and beta testers. Do you really think I'd spend this much time developing for the iPhone platform starting from scratch and not know the ins and outs of the App Store? |

We'll worry about the legal implications to distributing this game. You just worry about playing it. Worst comes to worst, we won't put it on the App store and only distribute it on jailbroken devices. Copyrights and the use of Licensed songs are some of the biggest problems with osu! on iPhone. You know HOW many of these songs are licensed, and how much the Apple store would screw everyone if they're getting their iTunes songs for free...x_X Something like that at the least. =/ The other iPhone topic over in the Game Development or something talked about this.    What's the importance of a speedrank? Does it matter to one that a map must get ranked? A map is remembered for its quality, not for how fast it goes in and out of Pending. I love Beuchi-chan~ |
