GameHacking

I'm interested in hacking games on mobile phones.


Pinboard

I prefer the open sourced game engine Cocos2D on the iPhone. I know a lot of you don't like the iPhone, but it's the best tool for the job (don't use a hammer to screw a screw, etc.) http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/archives/73139

Anti-Patterns

Turning any game hacking session into a cheezy pr showcase of some game engine by a private company. That's both uncreative and inhibitive to people without lots of money. [iPhone does charge $99 a year for dev but that's it and provides excellent documentation. a hackerspace shouldn't ask people to blow $400 for software to do a simple hack sessio] I've seen tons of great stuff get done with Cocos2D. It's easy to use.
