Astro Noughts is currently “In Review” and with any luck should be in the App store next week. Whilst I’m impatiently waiting, I though it would be interesting to write up all of the hardware and software I used to create the game.
Each game you create is going to require different tools and it’s highly unlikely you’ll find a single piece of software to cover all of your needs.
