Good to know that, thanks. iOS is first, Android to follow.

Great news. Good luck with the project. I hope I get as much fun out of your new game as I did your original.

Yes, because I know Java well, and that is the Android development language. But first, I need to complete the iPhone version..

Hi Kevin – Good to hear you are designing a new football manager game. Are you going to release an Android version?
Looking forward to (hopefully) playing it soon!

Thank you. Incidentally, Objective-C does get easier. I found it strange at first, but now it comes naturally. The latest change in the SDK, which eliminated the manual memory management (ARC) brings it closer to languages like Java. Memory management in Objective-C is a headache for most people new to it.

Mr Toms.
What a legend!
I had your ZX81 game! Yep – the original!
I have managed to make a few apps using Objective-C but its a horrible horrible language to use, in my opinion.
I am now up to speed writing my first iPad app using GLBasic instead – which cross compiles to Objective-C and in my opinion is better than Corona. I hope your iPhone game is doing well and look forward to it – but how about an old school rewrite of the original onto the iPad – using something like GLBasic compiler as the tool would make this quite easy compared to taking the Objective-C route – just my thoughts on development matters. Whatever – I look forward to new products from you and regularly check this page.

I thought the same exact thing. I had an image in my mind of Dr. Murray shooting up Jackson like it was that scene from the Wall where there singer’s face melts off.
