Just shipped my second game : Holiday Cheer

So yeah I know ; long time no post.

You'll have to excuse me though. I've been quite busy you see I shipped my second game already!

My last post noted I was starting to port Pirates Treasure to C/C++.

We'll that went very well.

In fact so well that its done and on iTunes already here




There was one minor speed bump; call me foolish but Pirates Treasure was taken twice over on the iTunes store so I had to re-brand / re-name it as Pirate's Jewels.   It was a tough call what to re-name it as; there were a lot of options. In the end I had Pirate's Gold and Pirates Jewels


Interestingly enough teaching myself C/C++ was not difficult at all after having taught myself  BASIC/DBPRO. 

Honestly its mostly a matter of syntax and some more advanced ways of handling things that are largely pleasant surprises.
