iDevGames is and has been the place for Mac and iOS game programmers to share ideas, knowledge, code, graphics, audio, and a helping hand to each other since it was founded by Carlos Camacho 1998. In addition to providing a home for a large community of developers, iDevGames also periodically runs contests to encourage new game development. iDevGames runs the largest Mac game programming contest, uDevGames, which to-date has awarded over $100,000 in prizes.

Through contests and community support, iDevGames has been the catalyst for fostering the careers of many game developers and creation of a multitude of new games, and has the goal of continuing to do so.
