Re: iPhone games

As I recall, DinerDash and TapTapRevenge did use Lua.  I'd be surprised if Angry Birds Halloween did not use Lua.  Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Cut the Rope uses Lua (it's using xml files).

BTW, the #1 featured iPad eBook (and #17 overall book) on the iTunes store "Rabbit and Turtle's Amazing Race HD" was powered by Corona, so it's also powered by Lua.  (Full disclosure: we're the folks behind Corona)

I saw that. Angry Birds is 3rd in the list, but DinerDash and TapTap
Revenge (the others that Walter mentioned) are not in the top list
anymore.
