My Mac Mini and first generation iPod Touch I bought for game development more than a year ago had been sitting around idle until now. I needed to upgrade to Snow Leopard so that I could register as an individual developer and download the SDK. Then I found out that first generation iPod Touch devices are no longer compatible for app development.. HmmM?? I'll upgrade that too, but for now I can just use the emulator:



I decided to make my first game a slider puzzle game. It has been relatively easy so far. Interestingly, the iPod and iPad have different aspect ratios so I occasionally switch the emulator to ensure things are getting drawn correctly.
