Develop 2D Games in Objective-C #BarcampM12

This presentation was given on February 28, 2012 at Barcamp Mayaguez in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico. I talked about the different frameworks available to develop 2D games using Objective-C and some 3rd party tools available to make your life easier.

3. Programming in Objective-C Stephen G. Kochan iOS Programming The Big Nerd Ranch Guide Joe Conway & Aaron Hillegass Learn Objective-C
4. Objective-C Gaming Frameworks in 2D Scene Management Sprite Sheets Parallax Scrolling Physics Engines Transitions Actions Menus Buttons Particle Systems Tile Maps Sound Engine Effects Text Rendering Animations
5. Frameworks Concepts and Naming Similar to Flash/Flex Easier to Learn Less Features HUGE COMMUNITY!! Feature Rich Harder to Learn
6. Who’s Using Cocos2D?
7. Book and Tutorials Rod Strougo Ray Wenderlich - Full Game Included - Recycling Objects www.raywenderlich.com www.vickiwenderlich.com Learning Cocos2D
8. It’s all about CPU, Memory & Frame Rate Photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/daveseven/6054654110/ Load Everything Once

10. Texture Packer Sprite Sheets Save Memory and Reduce Wasted Space in Images
11. Tiled Tile Maps Create Large Worlds Without Using Large Amounts of Memory
12. Physics Engines Box2D Chipmunk C++, More Features, Big Community Complex C, Simple API Not Object Oriented
13. You Own the Universe!!! Ball Density: 1.0 Friction: 0.0 Restitution: 1.0 Paddle Density: 10.0 Friction: 0.4 Restitution: 0.1 Walls Density: 1.0 Friction: 0.2 Restitution: 0.1 Gravity x = 0.0 y = -10.0
14. Boxed Collision Detection NOT GOOD
