Tutorial: Develop An Angry Birds Like Game With Cocos2D And Box2D Step-By-Step
In the past I mentioned a good tutorial on creating an Angry Birds like game with Cocos2d and the Chipmunk physics engine (using the SpaceManager wrapper).
I’ve come across an excellent tutorial that while creating a similar takes a different approach using the Box2D game engine. The tutorial uses a catapult to fire at the structures, and creates a much more polished result with a scrolling camera, Box2D joints, and more.
Tutorial: In-Depth Tutorial On The iOS UITableView And UIPickerView
If you are new to the iOS it’s likely that you are or will spending a tremendous amount of time learning to work with the UITableView component, and the UIPickerView component. These two components are extremely useful, but can be difficult to work with as illustrated by the over 4,000 combined questions on Stack Overflow about these two components.
Tutorial: Building A Beautiful Front End Interface For A News App
I’ve mentioned a great tutorial demonstrating how to format articles in a magazine/news app, and I came across a tutorial demonstrating how to create an interesting front end user interface for a news app.
This tutorial demonstrates that front for a news app, and is styled after the Pulse News App for iPhone and iPad. Effectively the tutorial demonstrates how to create a grid view with multiple images, and headlines. The cool part is the user can slide each row on the grid so that you can display a large number of article headlines and thumbnails.
Tutorial: Build A Multiplayer Cocos2D Game That Runs On Your Own Server
Previously I mentioned a tutorial on creating a multiplayer Cocos2D game with GameKit, and a tutorial demonstrating how to create a multiplayer game using Game Center as the lobby.
I’ve come across an extensive multiplayer game tutorial that demonstrates how to create a multiplayer game using Cocos2D that runs on a server created by you. This is a pretty daunting topic, and what I really like is that every little detail is covered even how to code the server that will host the games.
Tutorial: Upload Videos With The Facebook Graph API
In the past I mentioned mention a couple of excellent tutorials demonstrating the basics of using the Facebook Graph API such as how to authenticate using Oauth, getting profile information, and posting to the wall. Those tutorials are still relevant, but the iOS SDK has changed considerably in the meantime so it may be difficult to follow along.
