    You will never wake up from the dream to become rich with your genius idea right?

    If your install base on any platform is big enough you can earn money. But being free does not mean alot downloads especially on a platform like android.

    You always point to the single sucesses and ask like a child, "but they made it".. So i assume you are very young and naive.

    You want to save up 5k and think thats enough , your problem is you are not interested to learn. You jusk ask questions and want other people to answere it for you and still dont comprehend it..

    You need to find thoose answeres yourself, digg into the material and understand how it works. Anything else will fail. But chances are more tan slim anyway that you will succeed.

    Stop asking "why?" after every answere given to you and for once be realisitc and think for yourself

    It all depends. Coding wise, there shouldn't be many changes at all, even if utilizing OpenGL ES, assuming the original developer(s) assumed the resolution could potentially be different for the game.

    Now, graphics may be the issue. If you don't have the original vector images for what's in the game, you would have to have a designer recreate the images in a worst case scenario, or simply contact your original designer and tell them to create the needed resolution of the images for your iPad version.

    yes very expensive.. you start from top to bottom not the other way around..

    if you start on iphone first then go ipad you need at least half a million dollars more..

    to save that money and buy yourself a ferrari and a lambrghini from that money plan ahead.. on all departments..

    so be as flexaible as possible to cover all platformas avaiable (if you want to)
