New Developers Interested in Making Games for the App Store

Post by Psmith » Sun May 15, 2011 3:38 am

Given the fact that in both the iOS app store and the Android app store, games are at the very top of the "Top Sellers" list, my guess is that many, new to developing applications with the LiveCode platform, would like to concentrate their study efforts to those things which lend themselves to making things move and interact with the mouse cursor (or finger/fingers).

Having spent a good deal of time looking through the available educational material on the RunRev site - I find only a few topics which address this field of interest.

I've also seen the "Animation Engine" and what it can do, but I am thinking that there needs to be more educational material available which addresses all things pertaining to games (object movement, sprite animation, collisions, scores, etc.)

Has anyone put together a group of tutorials that address all of these things?

The problem is, that some of that stuff is super trivial (score: put field "scoring" + 1 into field "scoring"), while other things are extremely specific.

Your best bet would be to look at examples, and ask questions here or on the use list.

I do have some examples on my page, btw: http://bjoernke.com/?target=games
