Description
Get template code for creating your own version of the extremely popular line drawing / path drawing games like Flight Control, Harbor Master, Boom Brigade and Pirate Bay. All of them have the gameplay element of guiding an object to a goal by drawing a path (or line) from A to B.
Learn how to draw lines, detect touches on objects, have objects follow a path – and much, much more! Written by Steffen Itterheim, professional game developer and published book author (Learn iPhone and iPad Cocos2D Game Development, Apress).
The source-code is annotated with lots of comments explaining rationale and was written with readability in mind. The included sample game works natively on both iPhone and iPad. Familiarity with the cocos2d-iphone game engine is recommended.
The purchase grants you a site license, allowing you to share the source code with your project team.
Note: your purchase helps to support the development of Kobold2D, the next generation cocos2d game engine.
Features
High level development practices:
- Clearly separated and well-structured GameScene code design with a minimum of dependencies
- Easy to add new objects and extend object parameters
- Assertive coding style to help catch coding errors early on
Fully-featured game code:
- Touch object & draw a path for it (whether it’s already following a path or not)
- Path drawing ends when path is drawn over appropriate target location (eg airstrip for airplanes, respecting angle of approach)
- Path drawing ends when arbitrary point limit is exceeded (to avoid slowdowns)
- Path is drawn when dragged with thick transparent line style like Harbor Master, without glitches
- Path is split into equal length pieces no matter how quickly user moves finger
- Objects spawn outside screen, locations can be re-defined and extended
- Objects display incoming warning marker at screen border
