Help Ged for those interested in iphone development

[zxcvbnm]

Ok here is a few resources to help you out

1) In the Ged , the game is made in iphone resolution .

2) Its fully functional game with onscreen buttons.

3) Graphics done by me , so you can use them in your work.

The goal of the game is to jump over the barrels and collect the coins. Very fun game using onscreen controls.

Take a look at the code so you can see how basic buttons are done. Plus highscore feature!!

Nice.

By the way, do you know how to make random timer?
I looked at your timers and they are all periodic, and if you use them in game like this,
it just keeps repeating. Everything happens same way all the time
and the one playing your game can soon remember that, and then the game is very easy.

So, when you create timer, you can choose is it random or periodic.
If you choose random, you can set the limit times for it.

This way you can make your games more fun and challenging.

Yes Lcl if you use random the game will be more exciting. I just made it te way I did so people can play with the mouse and control the charactor , if the barrels where random , else the game would be too tough playing it on the computer. Whats your highscore by the way??

My highscore?

Actually, I made some changes to it so I could play it with keys...
Then, I stopped at one safe place and waited for long time when then coins just
kept coming and coming and coming... Then I went and collected them, so my
highscore is insane... And I could make it even better still... It's now something like
over 4000 if I remember right...

But yeah, that was after I made changes to it... I could try it as it is normally
and then tell you my real highscore.

EDIT:
Without those "edits" my highscore is now 1160.
I can try it again later and tell then what is my hihgscore. But it's easy to
get points by going to that safe place... Anyway, that's actually pretty nice game.
You could continue it with more levels, etc.

Ok after you change it so you can play with keyboard keys and make it random. Then post it in game demos , Iam sure people will love the game. Plus learn a little on iphone development too.

You mean I could do it?
I think it's better for you to do that.
It could be good thing for you to get this nice game to
game demos. And as I said in previous post, make more levels, etc. Then
it will be even more fun.

thank you all ,

I am almost finished my first level ,

but do you think if I have many images in my app is it okay ??

or there is max size of my app for apple and microsoft ?

[zxcvbnm]

Ok you can have many images in your game as long as there is no slowdown. Do you have device to test your game on?

[Orlando911]

I have Iphone 4,

because I am focusing for learning EG, to make my App, and I did, still few thing in my game to be ready, (first level)

but now I want to know how can I test it ,because I have windows, so I thing export my game for (Iphone) ,
then I will get, 2 files, ( xxx.dat, gedTmp_first, and I have my file (data),

here what I am looking for :
I think that I have to use apple computer to compile them, and test it, but I dont know how , and witch files that i have to use ?

actually, now i have the free GE, but I will get the licences when I finish my work,

Ok to test on device

1)Computer you need is Mac snowleopard 10.6 and you have to buy $99 apple developer package.
2) Export game as iphone data.
3) Put iphone dat files inside xcode and have iphone connected.

[Orlando911]

third step not clear ,

if there is picture or step by step, will be very good ,

so in test my app in my Iphone, can I move my app to my Iphone, and it will be in my Iphone or when I disconnect the cable I cant see the app in my iphone ??

and what is the step to upload the app to apple store ?


thank you

Put iphone dat files into the resources section in xcode and press compile. You can export this game I made and give it a try.
