From the Back Cover
Start writing games for the iOS platform today
Want to start writing games for the iPhone® and iPad®, but you're new to iOS development? This book provides the starting point. No matter your experience level with iOS programming, this beginner's guide covers the technologies you need to know to get started creating fun iOS games. The coverage begins with the tools you'll need, including Xcode® and Interface Builder, then gives you a tutorial in C and Objective-C®, the languages you'll need to develop for iOS. Then you'll learn how to use the Cocoa® Foundation framework and the Model-View-Controller architecture. Once you have the foundation in place, you'll move on to the libraries you need to add graphics, animation and sound, control user interaction, and even allow players to play head-to-head across a network. Learning how to create games should be nearly as much fun as playing them, so this book offers a complete, playable game in nearly every chapter. Each game is created in simple, easy-to-understand parts, building to a full game by chapter's end. Author Patrick Alessi explains all the code line-by-line so you'll always know exactly what you're building.

Review of completed book...cover to cover.
By Me
Final impression of the book... 3.5/5.0 - Good content...some coding issues.
I am actually pleased with the content and line by line comments. I was able to get the projects to work after some tinkering and did find that the material that was covered provided the resources necessary to build functioning 2D games. As an intro to iOS game programming, I did find that I would recommend this book (with a strong note regarding the coding issues).
The book does cover a lot of ground (for someone who is new at this) and is well written contrary to some books. The coding is obviously not "perfect" but shouldn't distract from the concepts and content that are presented. You can develop your own style of coding as time goes on. The book is not written in a tone that is "exciting". Don't look for a lot of humour or quirky remarks in this book. You won't find any.
The projects, for the most part, are coded individually so you don't have too many issues with mistakes that can be carried over from project to project. I also find the range of projects very good. Peer-to-Peer networking is covered through GameKit, along with some good insights regarding Quartz2D. No 3D/OpenGL ES in this book however. If you are new to game programming (I recommend getting a working knowledge of Xcode interface and the Objective-C programming language, also to be registered with apple as a developer) this book does provide a good starting point.
Buyer Be Advised...some of the code/logic does need to be corrected in future editions or reprints. With a little research you can easily fix these problems; go see the Blog at the WROX website. You also do need two devices to test out the final project that covers Peer-To-Peer networking.
On the positive side...The book is worth buying as a good foundation for 2D game programming. It is very basic but does cover many subjects. Have a look at the table of contents..it is descriptive enough to get a good idea of what is covered. The explanations are clear and easy to follow. There are also exercises with answers in each chapter for those interested. Practice makes perfect.
For the lazy folk...here are the major topics
PART I: THE TOOLS TO GET STARTED
CHAPTER 1: GAMES ON IOS
CHAPTER 2: THE XCODE PROGRAMMING ENVIRONMENT
CHAPTER 3: THE C PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE
CHAPTER 4: THE OBJECTIVE-C PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE
CHAPTER 5: THE COCOA FOUNDATION FRAMEWORK
PART II: GAME BUILDING BLOCKS
CHAPTER 6: DRAWING WITH UIKIT AND CORE GRAPHICS
CHAPTER 7: RESPONDING TO USER INTERACTION
CHAPTER 8: ANIMATING YOUR GRAPHICS
CHAPTER 9: MAKING NOISE WITH IOS AUDIO APIS
CHAPTER 10: BUILDING A NETWORKED GAME WITH GAMEKIT
APPENDIX: ANSWERS TO EXERCISES
Try it out...post your opinions. It's how I choose my material.
...
Code in Chapter 10 - TicTac
This section has (in my version of the ebook) omitted the details. In order to fill in this "blank" you should go to the WROX website and download the code for the individual projects. You will also find all the images and sounds required for the book.
...
Update: Completed chapter 5.
...
Some minor issues in the coding once again but the coding did produce a functioning "game". The author does cover some interesting topics and does present the foundation for some interesting game ideas.
...
It should be clarified that much of the resources he presents in his book can only be accessed by purchasing an Apple Developer Package from Apple (...which I highly recommend) It is a good bargain relative to the resources you get and enables you to stay on top of changes in the industry.
...
No major coding issues...
Section "Try It Out: Building the ScramblePlayer Class" step 8.
NSArray *masterWordList = ... contains doubles of the random word "queue". Simply omit the second entry.
also...
In the following coding comments in the same section the Author makes numerous references to the "chosenWords mutable array". It doesn't exist. These references are to the "scrambledWords mutable array". Don't look for the other array, you won't find it.
Will update further...
...
Code in Chapter 4 - section "Try it out: Implementing the MindPlayer Class (Master Mind Game)
...
I''m not going to bother correcting this one...he can do this. Logic doesn't work. Game even gives incorrect output in his test run as printed in his book.. The rack is holding "red, black, yellow, orange" and the player guesses "green, black, orange, orange" and should be told that he has two pegs of the correct color and position. Code logic only picks up that the player has one in the correct position and color, and one of the correct color only. Just put in a guess of all the same color and if you have anymore than one match of color and position, it won't pick it up.
...
Proof read your stuff and test your code beefour you publish it.
In terms of content, it seems good up to now, simple to follow...needs more screen shots. Gotta get the coding fixed though.
...
Just purchased the eBook version of this. I use ebooks because I assume that when errors are identified, they will be updated...wrong. (Note...at the time of writing this I had just completed chapter 4. I will update as I progress through the book.)
Code in Chapter 3 - section "Try it out: Modeling a deck of cards"
...
printf("The first card is %s of %s\n", deck[0].value, deck[0].suit);
...
should read...you're supposed to be passing the name not the numerical (int) value of the card.
printf("The first card is %s of %s\n", deck[0].name, deck[0].suit);
Later.

Great entry-level book.
By Michael D. Fox
First time book reviewer here.
I'm an experienced (21+ years) software developer new to iOS development including XCode, Objective C, Cocoa and the overall iOS development "paradigm". This book has been incredibly helpful to me. What I really needed was an overview of the various areas which I need to become more familiar with (initially I didn't even "know what I didn't know") and "Beginning iOS Game Development" has given me that. I fully expect to eventually shift over to more in-depth material (whether that's books like "The iOS 5 Developer's Cookbook" or Apple's own developer site and forums) but this book has been a really good starting point for me. If you've already got significant experience with iOS development, this book probably isn't for you. But if you're just starting out and want to quickly get up to speed with basic iOS development concepts and get a high-level overview of things, then I'd be hard-pressed to see how any book could do a better job than this one.

excellent book!
By M. Luu
i love this book! it's very informative and easy to follow along. it definitely does a good job at teaching you the objective-c language, the iOS framework, and general game design. there are some minor code and grammer errors in the book but you can figure it out immediately if you have a basic understanding of the language. It's a lot of fun building the many sample games in the book. i love it!
if you're completely new to iOS development, this book is NOT for you. i suggest reading "Programming in Objective-C", then the "iOS Development: Big Nerd Ranch Guide" to get the basics down. You should also take the Stanford iOS development course on iTunes to learn the basic. It's free, so why not? Good luck!
