It plays the classic card game Cassino, which is actually quite fun. But it also shows that you can use OCaml to build native iOS apps. You can check out the app here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cassino/id411381417?mt=8&uo=4 I posted about our OCaml-to-iOS cross compiler a while back on this list. It's based on OCaml 3.10.2 and uses patches from Toshiyuki Maeda and us (Psellos). Since I last posted about it, I've fixed at least one bug, so if you're interested you might want to try the newest version. I created a web page that describes how to build it, here: http://psellos.com/ocaml/compile-to-iphone.html It's really enjoyable to work with the power and flexibility of OCaml on the iPhone. OCaml offers excellent leverage for building iPhone apps, once the lower layers are in place. I'd be very happy to answer questions about our experiences and methods, either on- or off-list.
