- Index
You will need the following in order to make full use of the content of this book:
- An Internet-connected PC with at least 1GB RAM running Windows XP Service Pack 2, Vista, or Windows 7
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2005/2008/2010 (C++ Express editions are suitable for this)
- A licensed copy of the Marmalade SDK
The first chapter will explain how to install a suitable version of Microsoft Visual Studio, and how to obtain Marmalade and purchase a license for it.
For making iOS deployments, you will also need to have signed up to Apple's iOS Developer Program; further details on this are also provided in the first chapter.
For the chapters on 3D graphics, it will also be beneficial if you have one of the supported modeling packages available. Marmalade provides direct support for Autodesk 3DS Max and Autodesk Maya, but a cheaper alternative is the open source Blender package.
