The Wiki Game for iOS
- clemesha 15y agoI built this as a companion to my web app http://TheWikiGame.com http://TheWikiGame.com. Started it as an HTML5 app (using jQuery Mobile and Phonegap), but I abandoned them in favor of Objective-C, which turned out to be a choice I'm very happy with. Native scrolling was the single biggest thing that convinced me to go with Objective-C.

- dlokshin 15y agoOut of curiosity, which frameworks did you try before going the native route? Scrolling the only thing keeping you from a Sencha / Phonegap like approach?
- clemesha 15y agoI got pretty darn far with jQuery Mobile before I realized that I was going to just build something I wasn't proud of. I did really put a good effort into it though. Jittery, slow, and inconsistent scrolling and page transitions were (sadly enough) the thing that made me just go with Objective-C.
- tworats 15y agoI was rooting for HTML5 / jQuery mobile approach to work, but watching it develop (I know clemesha) it became clear that it wasn't going be a very good result. The native app, by comparison, is clearly significantly superior. I wish it wasn't so, but it is. For games at least, I'm convinced native is the way to go. Alex, congrats, the game turned out beautifully.
- clemesha 15y agoThanks. Totally agree with the "I wish it wasn't so" sentiment, as I know JavaScript way better than Objective-C. (That said, I ended up finding Xcode and Objective-C fairly pleasant after getting the hang of it).
- wlievens 15y agoThis is awesome. I love it. Thanks for building this.
