We would love to have you as a beta tester!
Your free copy of the SDK is attached. We do ask that you experiment with the SDK and give us feedback on your experience. We want to make this SDK as easy to use as possible. We look forward to updating it with your suggestions and supporting you in your effort to create a successful iPhone game!
----------
Instructions for use:
1) Unzip the attachment
2) Find the file named DragonFireSDK.aaa and rename it to DragonFireSDK.lib (this is required as Gmail blocks .lib files)
3) If you don't already have Microsoft Visual C++ download this free copy and install it: http://www.microsoft.com/Express/VC/#webInstall
4) Double click Example.dsw and Build and Run the project.
5) You should see a red ball in the iPhone Simulator.
6) Change the Example code and begin building your game.
