Recommendations for C++ open source game engines on IPhone

Question

I decided that I want to make a game for the iphone I was thinking of using oolong or sio2 any recommendations?

Both have the problem of lack of tutorials, is it possible to somehow use a normal C++ game tutorial and integreate the engines rather than the one used in the tutorials? So if the C++ tutorial talks of creating an engine I can skip it and use sio2 or oolong?

Thanks

Answer 1

You're making a game, not a game engine. The short answer is, yes, you can just use those engines to make the game.

The long answer is that you should probably go through the tutorials doing it the way that they do it just to get a feeling for C++/OpenGL/whatever. Then, using the knowledge that you have gained, make your own game using oolong or SIO. Trust me, you are not going to want to use the code you wrote when you were learning C++ to make an actual game, unless you can read something and immediately master it.

Answer 2

Look into Unity. Not C++ for the scripting, but it's a very popular engine.

Answer 3

How about cocos2d ? It's BSD license, has docs and tutorials, and I've seen many people use it to create a game in a day.
