The book enables the reader to create a number of projects, which include a matching game, a puzzle game, a whack-a-mole game, a pong game, and a coloring book. Each of these projects gives the readers a variety of knowledge and skills that they can apply to their own gaming projects. It includes a companion disc with source code, images, and project files. By the end of the book, the reader will have five apps that they've developed, along with the knowledge of making games for the iOS platform.

  • Industry Reviews
    "iOS for Game Programmers examines mobile game development and is directed to beginning Objective-C programmers, offering tools for creating a number of quick projects and small games to teach the basic applications of iOS. Each project teaches a basic skill and then builds upon it with the next project, which enables learners to embark on a logical system of learning through experience. Five game projects include a puzzle, a game of pong, and a 'whack-a-mole' game, and includes details on how iOS works, along with information on various versions including the latest iOS8 for iPhone and iPad. The result is a collection of keys to understanding game programming and iOS like, and is a recommendation for those just starting out."--California Bookwatch (6/1/2015 12:00:00 AM)
