GDC Integrates iPhone and iPad Games.

As a professor in Computer Science that includes a Game Developers Degree I often hear students talking about games being mutually exclusive to NOT iPhones and iPads.  But that is changing, as I taught the first iPhone and iPad class here at the University of Colorado I am seeing more of my students, particularly those in Games developing games on the iPhone. To top it all the the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco being held today is having 16 iPhone and iPad . The GDC advisory board decided that iPhones and iPads are an important enough platform to warrant its own summit. It is certainly an option now that the next iPad and iPhone App class I teach with my iPhone and iPad Apps for Absolute Beginners will in fact include many Gamers. The challenge is using Objective-C in games when students are more attuned to Java and C++.
