iPad and iPhone development question

[Renatos]

If I were to make the same game for the two devices, would I need to make the game twice or make the iPad version and then resize down to the iPhone? Thanks in advance!

If you make an app or game for the iPad you'd probably need to resize to Iphone/Ipod touch, but if you make a app/game for the Iphone you can run it on iPad

Os jogos do iPhone rodam no iPad mas ficam com uma resolução muito baixa. Acho que o ideal seria fazer uma em cada tamanho mesmo.

It'll give you black bars "letterboxes" on one device, depending which you build it for. Build at iPad resolution and it'll scale down for iPhone with small black bars on the right and left, build at iPhone resolution and it'll scale up for an iPad with small black bars on the top and bottom. Depends which you prefer really. Personally I prefer the idea of doing a separate 'HD' version.

Also keep in mind that if you develop for the iPad and your App is run on the iPhone and is scaled down, any text, icons, small objects, etc., that look fine on the iPad may be too small to see/read on the iPhone.
