Make iPad version of my game with no iPad ?!

POM

Hey guys
i just tested something , made a new project (iPad landscape) and made some actors in the scene , hit preview
(on the device - iphone 4) and i can see the game even though its an iPad project.

Can we make ipad games without an iPad and do the tests on iphone 4?!

640x960 or 960x640 is fairly similar to the iPads screen size, so yes I would think so.

@artonskyblue
The resolution of the scenes is 1024 768 , and still i can see the whole screen on my iphone 4 for testing

.........with a magnifying glass.... ;-) Still, even though small, it's good (but surprising) it shows, good for checking speed/playout of Rules, etc., I guess! :-)

yes I do it all the time.....you just have to move things into the view for testing....

@guru-at-zidware

please explain what do you mean move thing into view?

hi...well if I am look ing graphics or test a button...I move the actors into the view space of where the
iphone would load....

- setup GS for ipad
- build you game for ipad
- publish as iphone or ipod
- load onto ipod
- test (only part of screen shows)

I did this on our first iPad game ZooRound to make launch last
year in Apple store...as we had no iPads?
