Zoo Tycoon Similer Game - iPhone

I might make an iPhone app similar to Zoo Tycoon. (Obviously with a different name due to copywrite though).

As some of you know, I develop websites (and know a little about security) so I could even make a website for it.

I know Zoo Tycoon is a very popular game, however I have not found a similar game available for the iPhone or iPad.

And if I do make this then I know you'll all give suggestions to make it as good as possible!


Bare in mind that this is still an idea though and I may never actually finish it.

Sounds like a good idea, and yeah, unless Microsoft gave you permission, it would have to be a different name.


I tried making an app once, but I was told to sign up for an app producing thing to do it, which cost Ł400. >_>

You need a mac for the official development kit, Xcode, which I have.

And then if you want to put your apps on the app store it costs $99 / year and you can upload as many as you want. Currently I haven't made a full app which is worth putting on the app store so I haven't paid this yet however I am willing to if I make a good enough one.

When I have something to show you, you'll have to be jailbroken in order to test it.

Ah ok, thats a lot of money.

I can't jailbreak, I'm the wrong version, I cant even use the one specially made for my version.



Wait, a lot of apps are crashing and not working at the minuite, so would making an app even work, or is that just on version older Idevices?

I use iOS 4.2.1, jailbroken with green p0ison.

I've never had any problems with it; but that's just me.

I've worked on it a bit, but I realized that a very similar game called 'Tap Zoo' is already out so I decided not to bother.

I have Tap Zoo, one problem is that you need internet connection to play it.
