Abstract

In this book you are going to learn a lot about working with iOS. The goal, of course, is to be able to build a game that runs on iOS. To do that, you must learn about a lot of different elements that a full game will incorporate, such as basic UI widgets, audio, complex touch input, Game Center, in-app purchases, and of course graphics. This book will explore these concepts and many others. Think of it as a guide to the building blocks that you will need to make a compelling game that is specific to iOS and Apple’s mobile devices. All iOS applications have one thing in common—the application Xcode—so it makes sense to start with that.
