I wondered if it was similar or at least very close to the final version. It seems to have a few leaks of it's own. But what I really wanted to suggest - was that you move the joystick up and out from the corners a bit more for the final version of SLQ. As it would make it easier to move the character towards the edge of the screen i.e. I wouldn't so easily slide my fat thumbs off the touchable area. Just a thought! All the best Simon Read the blog, bought the book… and now waiting for the T-Shirt lol

I'm buried under a small pile of 'business' iphone apps that when done I'm hoping to work through your book.

It should also be up on rough cuts shortly. I cant see me getting anytime before the end of March to get a new tutorial out, but after then I'm sure I'll be getting back on the tutorial train. @Rob I'll look to get a post up. Mike @Simon

I have to say, after hours upon hours of searching the internet, your tutorials are by far the best I've ever seen and as of now even looking for books, I can't find a single one that I think could even compare to the book you are releasing. Just a thought, when you release the book with the video tutorials included, how would you feel about putting those on a DVD for those of us with very large TV's it would make following along a lot easier. Also, I had a quick question about the SDK you are using. I've upgraded to the latest iPhone SDK and was wondering if I would run into any problems. Will the book be using the newer SDK? Again, I want to express my gratitude that you've created such a wonderful tutorial series. Chris Mike,

Only allowing 10 min per film was a problem and ended up creating loads of little films. For something like the game update though it would be fine though. I'll get it posted up today :O) Mike LOL, I did put the first couple of tutorials on you tube a while ago. Only allowing 10 min per film was a problem and ended up creating loads of little films.
