The main thing is the funny anecdote about Lua that I shared over there. I'll post it here too. We used Lua for all of the visual programming for the music tracks. This was not allowed by the 2008 App Store policies. We decided to just rename all our .lua files as .cfg (.config?) to obfuscate our rule bending. After the app blew up in popularity, Apple eventually reversed course on this rule.
Seeing the creative ways developers got around Apple's rules, which were even crazier back then, was interesting. I recall downloading HandyLight, a supposed app that lit up your screen in different colours... that was actually a secret mobile hotspot app that allowed wifi tethering before Apple did. Everyone had to scramble to download it in the narrow slice of time between word getting out what it did, and Apple removing it.
I had fun Jailbreaking too and installing Cycorder so I could record video on my iPhone 3g. Good times.
