Ipad game to iphone game

patapple

Hi,

I just finished my first ipad game and now I would like to create the iphone game. What is the best way to do it?? I taught that i can duplicate the project, change the device to iphone and chek the resolution independence and after that i change every actor sizes! Can it works??.

Thankssss and sorry for my english

Without doing it tediously by hand, the only other way I would suggest is to use Darren and Wayne's Project Resizer program.

Try this...

1)Copy your project and make the copy an iPhone version, with RI checked.
2) Go into the scene attributes on all of your scenes, and change the Camera width and Height to iPad size (1024 X768). Change tracking x,y to 0.
3) Give it a test. If your game looks and plays correctly, this is it! There may have to be some adjustments in object dimensions, but if it works, you've saved a lot of time.

I think @LiquidGameworks pretty much nail the basics but for a more in depth read on the process and an idea of where to start with adjusting and actors that get really distorted read up here. http://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/32594/resizing-to-ipad-technique
I highly recommend it especially if you have not already bought the re-sizer. ITs a great tool, I own a copy, but this has worked better for me on many occasions because it is a far more complete resize than the tool can normally do.

Hope it helps.

I had a few game convert from ipad size to iphone by the camera trick but some buttons will get offset, so right now i got back to resizing manually. tedious but you may need to resize some of the buttons of gui to make it easier to read and press on, for the iphone resolution.
