We are looking at using Objective-C/C++ in a new game engine.  Objective C's duality of being both very dynamic and very "C" gives us exactly what we need to make the SDK and engineering of games simpler. This means that we will need a way to compile it on all platforms our games will target.  Currently the major platforms we are concerned with include... PC, Mac, XBox 360, PS3,

...tionship to MacOSX ObjC runtime, but they aren't the same and are unlikely to still be binary compatible at this point. You may need to do some work there also. Summary, you can probably get this approach to work, but it's not as easy as you're hoping.
