Thank you for all your interest in our Beta programme - and apologies that we have not sent you your copies yet! Unfortunately we have to wait for some changes to our account with Apple, and this seems to be taking rather longer than expected.

There is, however, an upside to this. Instead of twiddling our thumbs over the last few weeks waiting for Apple to make the changes, we have had a chance to play with the 3.0 beta SDK, and now hope to get a 3.0 application out for the 3.0 release (whenever that may be!). Stay tuned for further details of the next (3.0!) application from Swipe Interactive!

We are pleased to announce that Swipe Interactive has recently opened applications for positions on the beta test programme for our latest game development, Pole2Pole. If you are interested in taking part in the beta testing then please sign up on the Pole2Pole website.

We have recently released some teaser videos and screenshots for our latest game development, Pole2Pole.

Pole2Pole is an exciting, challenging game where players score points by locating cities, landmarks and other well known places as accurately as possible on an interactive high definition map, which players can zoom in and out of using the natural iPhone gestures.

Following our early success in multiplayer gaming on the iPhone, as seen with Quick Draw, Pole2Pole will feature several multiplayer options. These will include WiFi local network games, worldwide online games with several other people at once over both WiFi and mobile connections, as well as direct games with friends using Facebook Connect for iPhone.

We hope you enjoy the videos, and look out for further news from us soon! We expect to get Pole2Pole into the App Store in early May.

Welcome to Swipe Interactive’s brand new website! Over the last couple of months, during the small amount of spare time we’ve had during our ongoing iPhone game developments, we’ve been designing this site so that we can share our thoughts and findings in iPhone development with you.

So, what have we been up to over the last few months? Well, as many of you know, in November last year we released Quick Draw, one of the first truly multiplayer games available for the iPhone and iPod Touch platforms which makes the most of the mobile and wireless connectivity we all share. There was a lot of hype about Quick Draw, with some highly respected blogs showing excited interest pre-release. After a few successful months in the App Store, reaching Top 10 lists for Word Game Apps, Quick draw is still fighting strong, although being slightly swamped by the sheer number of applications which are flooding the App Store.

Ever since Quick Draw’s release we have been working on the next big Application from Swipe Interactive. We will post more information on our next App soon, as it is still in the development stages, but I can say that it will be as exciting as Quick Draw, and will certainly be even more popular.

So, why have we decided to make our thoughts and ideas available to you by means of this blog? Well, as I’m sure you’re aware, there are over 15,000 applications in the App Store now, which means there must be tens of thousands of Developers out there. Many of these developers will know what they’re doing with regards to iPhone development now, and for whom we hope we can provide some extra hints and advice; there will be many others, however, who are in the same situation as we were in less than 6 months ago, and to whom we would like to give help and inspiration to through means of this blog. So whether you’re a seasoned developer or an Objective C newbie please check back soon, as we’ll soon be sharing the processes we’re going through in our development, and even offering up free code snippets when we discover something of potential use in others’ applications.

Thanks for reading, we hope you’ll be back soon!
