I have to admit – I don’t understand anything that you are saying….but I do understand that what you created it really, really cool and impressive. Is it up in the app store yet?

I gotta admit, I havent worked with C++ since college so I’m lost with all of the technical stuff but that video is pretty damn cool!

Hey, this looks very cool! Have you come further with the release of the code? Would love to give it a look.

vade & Zach,

You certainly could use Objective C instead of C++, there is no performance hit for choosing either one to my knowledge.

My personal benefit is that I am not very comfortable with writing Objective C, and C++ is more homey to me. Add on to that many of my previous apps that I’d like to port to the iPhone are in C++, there are tons of libraries available in C++ and to top if off there is a big community of interactive art hackers that I’m appealing to with this (openFrameworks).

You certainly could make this exact same thing without touching C++.

Perhaps the point is that the flexibility to choose between the languages (or mix them) lets me work the way I like!

Cool stuff. But I’ll also ask: Why not Obj-C?
