Overview of this book

An easy-to-follow guide full of descriptive step-by-step procedures on how to develop a game for iOS. With each topic, a new challenge will be tackled to get a deeper knowledge of the Sparrow game framework and gain the skills to develop a complete mobile experience. This book is aimed at those who have always wanted to create their own games for iOS devices. Perhaps you've already dabbled in game development and want to know how to develop games for the Apple App Store, or maybe you have developed Objective-C apps in the past but you are new to game development. In either case, this book will help with descriptive examples and teach you to develop a game throughout its course. Some experience in Objective-C and a basic understanding of object-oriented programming are required.

What you need for this book

In order to develop applications for iOS, you need to have a Mac and, preferably, the latest version of Mac OS X. Although an Apple developer account and iOS Developer Program are not necessary, it is recommended as it allows you to run the examples on actual devices such as the iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad and distribute your applications to the Apple App Store. Keep in mind that the iOS Developer Program comes with additional costs.

There is no need to have Sparrow and Xcode installed on your system; we will cover the installation process in the first chapter.
