Invader War coming to the iPhone

Invader War, a new iPhone game by the 9-year-old developer behind Doodle Kids, is now in its final testing stages.

Lim Ding Wen wrote Invader War in JavaScript. According to his dad, Lim Thye Chean, they are now testing the game on the iPhone OS 3.0 (iPod touch 2G) and iPhone OS 2.2.1 (iPhone 3G).

Says Thye Chean: "In iPhone OS 3.0 - the game is pretty playable, and quite fast, but I am not sure whether it is due to iPod touch 2G raw speed (it has a faster processor) or iPhone OS 3.0 faster JavaScript performance. 

"Unfortunately iPhone OS 3.0 has a big problem - the Cut/Paste bubble keep popping up if Safari detected double click... and can't be prevented. For iPhone OS 2.2.1, it is running at half the speed, which is quite unplayable so we are doing optimization right now."

Invader War is Ding Wen's creation. Father and son have another game, Space War, that they collaborated on that is available on the Android Store.
