iPhone Tutorial Session 6: The Beginning of the End.
April 1st, 2010 admin

So I’m still waiting for the non-Beta edition of the iPhone SDK 3.2 to wrap up the entire series, but since its been a couple weeks, I released part 1 of session 6 last night. This is a one hour tutorial on in-App Purchases, which you can use to make your game free, then hopefully get some users to pay for the deluxe version via a button within the game. Its Apple’s recommended way of doing things now, vs. having two separate versions of the same …

Okay I’m mulling over what to teach for the “big-finish” of my iPhone Game Development Series . My plan is to review most of what we’ve learned so far and build a game in the process. Question is, what type game? A classic Street Fighter style game, or an overhead-view, walk from room-to-room Zelda game. Have your say...

The fifth and almost final part of my iPhone Game Development tutorial series is ready to download. This week’s video is almost 3 hours (ouch I know) but it’ll be worth it as you put together BlackJack. The main topics include… NSDictionary (for pairing up card names with a value, like SpadeAce = 11) Rearranging the contents...

If you bought the iPhone Game Development course already, your download link from last week should still be active and have the updated link. Also I’ll upload part 2 of session 3 tonight and email everyone a brand new download link again. Last night’s update teaches using the accelerometer in the iPhone to make a virtual table to roll...

I just compiled some weekly stats on my Werewolf iPad app with some interesting results. I switched it from being a $1 app to being free about a week ago. The game has an in-app purchase to unlock extra features in the game. Here’s the free week and week prior… Free (last week) Installs = 3100 In-App Purchase of $2.99 = 18 Total...

The two Justin’s have new lessons available! I dusted off my mic and taught a new iPhone/iPad tutorial covering the MapKit and how to overlay images on top of it which will move relative to the map as it updates. Which is basically the “secret sauce” in the Zombie Air Strike app I released a few months back. Next up, Justin...

I should have posted this Sunday night, but I’m like a kid that finishes his homework and leaves a cartoon smoke cloud shaped like myself to evaporate while I’m already skipping down the street to play elsewhere…. But I have realized the fun of selling these release-over-time courses, since I can basically teach, upload, and...

Hey gang, I’ve got some free codes for an iPhone app called Hippotherapy ( iTunes link , developer site ) This was done by Steve at MCP Design , a CartoonSmart student (queue applause sign). So lets say, the first 10 commenters request a promo code to download this for free will get emailed one. Just be sure to include a real email address...

My Actionscript 3 Menu Mega Course is finally complete!! I spent the last month or so putting together tons of example projects for just about every kind of fancy menu you might want to build. The course is divided into 5 parts, and is over 6 hours, but with plenty of separate projects (there’s 34 start and finish example .fla files), so...

So my app is done, Zombie Air Strike . And now its time for some answers to your questions, like… Why is it about zombies? Was it done in Flash or XCode? What about us Droid users? You spent that long on THAT? Actually that last question I’ve just been asking myself. So here comes a mega article and hopefully I can sum up this small...

For what certainly won’t be the last time, a successful iPhone game is attempting to make the leap into animated features and series. We’ve reported before about artists who have
