Tutorials

The tutorials on iPhoneGameTutorials.com may contain mistakes, poor commenting and are meant to only be another resource in the arsenal of the iPhone game developer. There are books that we recommend on the site and we highly recommend you pick up a few, however, each programmers learning behavior is different therefore YMMV (Your milage may vary). Still you should pick up a few anyway…

Credit is given when possible – This is my homage to Jeff “NeHe” Molofeeone who’s site (nehe.gamedev.net) was one of the first opengl resources I used in my time and still a great resource.

We’ve organized our tutorials by both the game mechanic and the programming knowledge level required to pick it up. Click the links below to jump to a specific section:

It’s up to you to take what you have learned from this site and apply it to projects of your own. Experiment with the code, read lots of books and ask questions in the forum or email us directly – Did I mention experiment with the code? Seriously it’s that important. We will also supply a plethora of very useful links that we’ve found helpful in our travels. Most of these sites are run by talented individuals that not only know their iphone development, they also program very well. Please keep all of this in mind while browsing my site. I hope you enjoy what we have to offer!

Great stuff! I think a Super Mario type game and a side/top scrolling shooter would be really good archetypical choices for tutorials.

Another useful tutorial would be one where you build a system to make multiple levels using the same level class, pulling the specifics (enemy types, background, music) from a dictionary or something.

Hmm it appears like your site ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly
enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any tips for first-time blog writers? I’d genuinely appreciate it.
