FreeWRL/FreeX3D iPhone Build

last update: July 21, 2011.

What is not working yet

The build for the iPhone, iPad, etc. is in the process of creation. As such, there are some areas of the FreeWRL/FreeX3D project that are not yet working. Help appreciated!

Here is a partial list of what is not working yet:

Navigation modes other than "WALK" and "EXAMINE"
Sensor (eg, "TouchSensor" inputs)
tesselator (for concave shapes, such as Text nodes, and some IndexedFaceSets and Extrusions)
Not all material shaders written (see console log; multitextures, texturegenerators, etc not there yet, but what is there will cover almost all of the uses)
Text nodes (can use Doug Sandens text code for the nav ui for text nodes)

Downloading the FreeWRL code.

Get the iPhone XCode environment from developer.apple.com
get the source - see the download page for ways of getting the source, or build from CVS, as per:
```
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@freewrl.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/freewrl checkout -P freewrl
```

Building and testing the FreeWRL iPhone code

Open the "FreeWRL-iPhone" XCode Project.
on top left of XCode, you will see a target; it is probably set to iPhone 4.x simulator or something equivalent;
Click "build and run" and see what happens...

IPhone Simulator configure notes

Note that, with the iPhone Simulator, you can use the mouse for navigation. We have found that using the finger on the iPhone screen, and using the mouse, are somehow inherrently different, so expect to find things moving in non-intuitive ways when using the mouse.
