The IOS Game Programming Collection (Collection)

By: Michael Daley,Rod Strougo,Ray Wenderlich

The iOS Game Programming Collection consists of two bestselling eBooks: Learning iOS Game Programming: A Hands-On Guide to Building Your First iPhone Game Learning Cocos2D: A Hands-on Guide to Building iOS Games with Cocos2D, Box2D, and Chipmunk Since the launch of the App Store, games have been the hottest category of apps for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. That means your best chance of tapping into the iPhone/iPad "Gold Rush" is to put out a killer game that everyone wants to play (and talk about). While many people think games are hard to build, they actually can be quite easy, and this collection is your perfect beginner's guide. Learning iOS Game Programming walks you through every step as you build a 2D tile map game, Sir Lamorak's Quest: The Spell of Release (which is free in the App Store). You can download and play the game you're going to build while you learn about the code. You learn the key characteristics of a successful iPhone game and important terminology and tools you will use. Learning Cocos2D walks you through the process of building Space Viking (which is free on the App Store), a 2D scrolling game that leverages Cocos2D, Box2D, and Chipmunk. As you build Space Viking, you'll learn everything you need to know about Cocos2D so you can create the next killer iOS game. This collection helps you Plan high-level game design, components, and difficulty levels Use game loops to make sure the right events happen at the right time Render images, create sprite sheets, and build animations Use tile maps to build large game worlds from small reusable images Create fire, explosions, smoke, sparks, and other organic effects Deliver great sound via OpenAL and the iPhone's media player Provide game control via iPhone's touch and accelerometer features Craft an effective, intuitive game interface Build game objects and entities and making them work properly Detect collisions and ensuring the right response to them Polish, test, debug, and performance-tune your game Install and configure Cocos2D so it works with Xcode 4 Build a complete 2D action adventure game with Cocos2D Build your game's main menu screen for accessing levels Use Cocos2D's Scheduler to make sure the right events happen at the right times Use tile maps to build scrolling game levels from reusable images Add audio and sound effects with CocosDenshion--Cocos2D's sound engine Add gravity, realistic collisions, and ragdoll effects with Box2D and Chipmunk physics engines Add amazing effects to your games with particle systems Leverage Game Center in your game for achievements and leader boards Squeeze the most performance from your games

Programming Language Explorations

By: Ray Toal,Rachel Rivera,Alexander Schneider,Eileen Choe

Programming Language Explorations is a tour of several modern programming languages in use today. The book teaches fundamental language concepts using a language-by-language approach. As each language is presented, the authors introduce new concepts as they appear, and revisit familiar ones, comparing their implementation with those from languages seen in prior chapters. The goal is to present and explain common theoretical concepts of language design and usage, illustrated in the context of practical language overviews. Twelve languages have been carefully chosen to illustrate a wide range of programming styles and paradigms. The book introduces each language with a common trio of example programs, and continues with a brief tour of its basic elements, type system, functional forms, scoping rules, concurrency patterns, and sometimes, metaprogramming facilities. Each language chapter ends with a summary, pointers to open source projects, references to materials for further study, and a collection of exercises, designed as further explorations. Following the twelve featured language chapters, the authors provide a brief tour of over two dozen additional languages, and a summary chapter bringing together many of the questions explored throughout the text. Targeted to both professionals and advanced college undergraduates looking to expand the range of languages and programming patterns they can apply in their work and studies, the book pays attention to modern programming practice, covers cutting-edge languages and patterns, and provides many runnable examples, all of which can be found in an online GitHub repository. The exploration style places this book between a tutorial and a reference, with a focus on the concepts and practices underlying programming language design and usage. Instructors looking for material to supplement a programming languages or software engineering course may find the approach unconventional, but hopefully, a lot more fun.

By: Ray Wenderlich,Steve Baranski,Adam Burkepile,Jacob Gundersen,Matthijs Hollemans,Felipe Laso Marsetti,Cesare Rocchi,Marin Todorov

This is Volume 2 of a 2-Volume book. iOS 5 was one of the biggest upgrades to iOS so far, and has a ton of awesome features that you'll definitely want to start using in your apps. The only problem is, there's not a ton of documentation or sample code on the APIs, so they're often quite hard to learn! This is where iOS 5 By Tutorials comes in! The goal of the book is to help intermediate and advanced iOS developers get up-to-speed with the APIs introduced in iOS 5 in the quickest and easiest way - via tutorials! Updated for iOS 6. This new second edition is fully up-to-date with iOS 6 and Xcode 4.5. Although the book focuses on APIs introduced in iOS 5, the chapters have been updated to work on iOS 6, use Modern Objective C syntax, and more. This book is for intermediate or advanced iOS developers, who already know the basics of iOS development but want to upgrade their skills to iOS 5. iOS 5 by Tutorials Volume 2 covers the following APIs: Twitter Integration: Learn how to use the new built-in Twitter integration support in iOS 5.
