Doodle Jump with a ball? :)

[Timyo123]

fffffffuuuuuuccccckkkkkkkk why cant there just be a simple way to make apps on a pc!!?!?

[PrizeRebelEzy]

@Timyo123 because they don't want retards making apps ;) lol jks. no this is the only way because lots of coding goes into apps. Temple run has over 300 lines of code for just the store!!!

[Timyo123]

@PrizeRebelEzy i mean there are really easy programs for making apps on macs, but there are only like one or two for pcs.

[az100eletronics12]

can u make iphone apps coded in c++?

[DuncanMacC1]

@az100eletronics12

Yes, Apple's development tools support using C, C++, or Objective C in any combination. However, Apple's frameworks are all written in Objective C, so you will end up with a mixture of Objective C and C++.

[az100eletronics12]

@DuncanMacC1 that makes a lot more sense now. Thank you.

[FeFsCloset]

Hey man. This tutorial was great and i grabbed the source code. Now i mostly grabbed the code for the high score function, however if im not mistaken you didn't cover that in your tutorial? Could you help me with that?

[mrEZspartan]

GO HALO REACH

[canniblefeets]

[ngc934]

i need i wee bit of help...whenever i try to build + run on Xcode 4 it says "there is no SDK with the path "iphoneos3.1.2" some help?

[infamszslick]

how do you upload a game to the app store?

[csprestonable]

Learning to build mobile applications is not an easy endeavor. It can be done, but you must have the drive and the aptitude (plus the time) to overcome the challenges. If you are looking to create a mobile app for your business (or idea), you would probably be smart to simply hire a qualified professional.

I know many talented (and affordable) mobile developers (freelancers and agencies). I'd be happy to provide an introduction.

Nice tutorial

[IceSonicRs]

When you fall You lose? REALLY ? :O

[TheMicromw]

nice video

[skelterdevil]

can you make a copy of papi wall?

[TheEagle1100]

@arenchavez455 Actually I coppied PapiJump. It was out before doodle jump. I coded the app myself though, and I made the graphics myself.

[SuperFajar]

@TheEagle1100

I think this is a great great tutorial! Thanks!

[julyantjeham]

What recorder are u using?

[algefrik98]

@julyantjeham He is using QuickTime to record. But don't use that. Use screen flow it's WAY better

[CfJr14]

Yeah A 12 Year Old Kid In Ireland Made A Game Called Pizzabot,

Its A Hit!

[doublebubleguy12]

Looks similar to doodle jump

[thekingbjorn]

Do you need an macbook or can I make a game on every computer

example: can i make an ipod game on windows 7?

[johncenaarena]

did doodle jump come out before or after this?

[FloatingSquash]

anyone else notice the time goes from 1:57 to 1:59? there is no :58

[snowmister2]

@FloatingSquash yeah there is - 1:58

[TheEagle1100]

@FloatingSquash That's odd. I didn't do any editing...

[juliand665]

@FloatingSquash

@TheEagle1100

that's a youtube bug…

[juliand665]

@FloatingSquash @TheEagle1100 that's a youtube bug…

[juliand665]

@TheEagle1100 that's a youtube bug…

[ExX0TicClan]

@FloatingSquash omg soo trrueee lol

[altmed11]

Someone asked about an Xcode alternate for windows. We cant use Xcode on Windows to make apps for iphone? I know that Eclipse is really big for making Android apps on Windows.

Also, someone mentioned using Flash/ Actionscript 3. We can make apps for phones using Flash CS5??

[MegaSuperstijn]

how doe jou heve that iphone on your pc



[Omppala]

Could you show us how to play a sound when the ball bounces?

PLZ

[flamepowerful]

Nice

[TheObnoxiousBosses]

they dont have an app too make an app!!!

[nicky2by4]

hey how did you learn how to code? if you can tell me how you learned that would be great. or if anyone could tell me a good place to learn.

[TheRoonie2011]

Hi, not a computer guru and I would like to make my first IPHONE APP, does anyone know of an equivalent to Xcode that will work on Windows, I dont have a Mac computer?? Thanks :)

PS. I want to make the app, I dont want anyone to make it for me, teach a man to fish n all that :P

[TheEagle1100]

@TheRoonie2011 The only option if you have a windows computer is to use third party development tools. The only ones that I know of, that you can make iphone apps with, are Torque and Unity. Both of those programs cost a ton though.

[McNibbler]

@TheEagle1100 unity is free

[TheEagle1100]

@McNibbler There is a basic free version, but you have to pay at least $400 to get the version that will publish iphone apps.

[AS3Ninja]

@TheRoonie2011 Use Flash. ActionScript 3 is very easy to learn. I became fluent in only a few months. You can do pretty much everything with Flash (CS5/CS5.5) that you can do with Xcode, if not more

[hulksmash911911]

@TheRoonie2011 parallels?

[alb12345672]

@TheRoonie2011 I run VMWare with MacOS Snow Leopard. With a few hours of hunting around you will have a decent dev platform(you wont win any speed records though). Forget making apps without Xcode.

[theoryallogist]

great job! BIG INSPIRATION! 

[Alexmoghad]

josh, why dont u try quickappfactory , these guyz can make your app for just $100

[TheEagle1100]

@Alexmoghad Anyone who will make an app for $100 dollars is either a scam, or they make crummy apps.

[RaggaDnB]

@Alexmoghad why would you want someone else to do your app?

[RossEStern]

@Alexmoghad because nobody wants to pay $100 dollars for an app

[joshuasaurus1991]

Stupid auto buttons, well when I start getting the basic jist of how to make it all, I'll chuck a video up. But I plan to do this from scratch and on my own so I don't plagurise

[joshuasaurus1991]

@HelpPrematureBabys

[joshuasaurus1991]

Yeah I know man, I've already got all the ideas for it and I know basic coding so I'll teach myself from there. Once I get into this shot there's no stopping me haha

[joshuasaurus1991]

just wondering if anyone can help me out...

im currently working on a game such as world war, forces of war, for ipod tocuh/iphone, an online game where you level up/buy buildings.

im not sure what program to design it with and i was wondering if anyone could lead me in the right direction?

cheers

-josh

[TheEagle1100]

@joshuasaurus1991 Xcode. That will be a pretty complex project though.

[HelpPrematureBabys]

@joshuasaurus1991 The idea sounds really cool. If you do use Xcode to make the game. Can you consider making a tutorial for it? I would gladly subscribe and most like buy the game if you put it on the App store.

[b112895]

im going to make papi jump

[b112895]

Now we know how freakin cheap Papi Jump IS!!!!!!!!!!

[xistoxs]

do I really need to have a mac in order to make iphone games?

[TheEagle1100]

@xistoxs Yes. Unless you use an expensive program like Torque or Unity.

[clemson1013]

Do you get paid and if so how?

[TheEagle1100]

@clemson1013 Do I get paid for what?

[clemson1013]

@TheEagle1100 Making apps

[TheEagle1100]

@clemson1013 Well, if it is an app that I make and put on the app store then I get paid by Apple, and they send it directly to my bank account. If it is an app that I am working on for someone else, then we come up with some agreement on how payment is going to work.

[ThaFooooosa]

@TheEagle1100 im thinking of making an app for the app store. what are the chances of getting it on the app store if it is a decent / good app

i have had no contact with apple before regarding publishing an app

[TheEagle1100]

@ThaFooooosa As long as your app is not something that violates their rules, and it doesn't have a bunch of bugs in it, then you can get it on the store. You just have to sign up for the apple IOS developer program. It costs $100 a year, and you can put as many apps on the app store as you want.

[ThaFooooosa]

@TheEagle1100 im thinking of making a cartoony shooting game, what do you mean by 'bugs' like viruses? or glitches

[TheEagle1100]

@ThaFooooosa A bug is any sort of problem that you have in your app that makes in not work how you expect it to.

[TheEagle1100]

@eddievazraghitv developer.apple.com /xcode/index.php

[RideValestrom]

@TheEagle1100 The simulator kinda looks like IDemo but i believe i'm mistaken.

[TheEagle1100]

@RideValestrom I don't know what iDemo is. The simulator is part of the iphone sdk that is provided by apple.

[help525]

how do you make it so it saves your high score

[TheEagle1100]

@help525 Keep watching the tutorials. One of them covers that.

[iTalkiStuff]

Hey, I am trying to learn development for iPhone stuff. If I learn a lot and get an app on the app store that ets a lot of hits, I will donate some to you.

[Jakkinator45]

@gdorito wow thats original

[trprakashan]

@TheEagle1100 Please provide the source code... I wanna too play.

[TheEagle1100]

@gdorito Xcode

[Zkrudriverz]

@gdorito the third word in the title is "simple" ....

[TheEagle1100]

@gdorito Good for you... I have made many more difficult and better games. The point of these tutorials is to show how to make a SIMPLE game. As it is, it took me 10 videos. If it were any more complicated it would have taken an absurd amount of videos.

[870pat4187]

im trying to get a team together to creat some apps that will make some good money for us , i have alot of ideas and would like you as a partner on the team . if your interested contact me @ patrick95westside@yahoo.com thanks,

[madnessclub]

can i get the source code please? :)

[tehweeklycheezburger]

@TheEagle1100 Can I have the source code please I would just li,ke to get to grips with xcode and SdK Thanks in Advance.......

[isaac7373]

can ia have the source code of this ? :) i wanna play around with it and with d codes .. if you dont mind :)

[TheEagle1100]

@isaac7373 No problem, just pm me your email address.

[thomaskblr1]

@isaac7373 Hey would you guys mind if i had the code to please, Just to mess around i just downloaded xcode and i wanna see how this all works out.

[thomaskblr1]

@isaac7373 Do you mind if i get the code to please

[saaaaaad123456]

hi a have a question?? what if i have two model views and i have one switch in one of them and a label in the other one and when I change the switch value between on and off the label will change too with the switch in the other model view

thanks for the tutorial :)

[TheEagle1100]

@saaaaaad123456 I don't think I am understanding correctly what you are asking.

[saaaaaad123456]

@TheEagle1100 hi and thanks for your replay my question is if i have two model views in my xcode(model view controller) and i want to put the game settings in one view and the game in the other view not like what you did by hiding the game images in part 10 for the touch segmented option

i mean how can i put this segmented in other view to control the touch for example

thanks again

[TheEagle1100]

@saaaaaad123456 Ok, so you want to have separate views for your settings view, and the other views....

In order to do this, you will want to add a UIView ivar for each of the views you are going to have. Then in IB, add all of the views you want (make sure that they are not subviews of the main view). Set the outlet to be the ivar that you created for each of the views. Then you will change views by setting the the view variable to whatever view you want...

[saaaaaad123456]

@TheEagle1100 thanks man you are the best :)

[IFudgeUTV]

do u have any specific vid for coding

[ayesheyad1]

Hello, can you please email me the entire code? email me to ayesheyad@yahoo.com

Thank You. This is an awesome tutorial.

[SSPKGaming]

How did you learn to code?

[TheEagle1100]

@SSPKGaming I have spent the last 4 1/2 years reading books, and online tutorials, as well as a ton of practice.

[SSPKGaming]

@TheEagle1100 thanks for your reply, no one ever replies :)

[Dolter9]

[applicationdev]

hey, where can I get the photos for this game? I am just trying to learn the code for games, but it is hard when you don't have any photos!

[TheEagle1100]

@applicationdev I can send you a .zip file of the entire project if you pm me your email address.

[The3DMachine]

Thank u I have 154 installers

[James161997]

Thank u

[haashir007]

r u d gamemaker of papi jump??!! i hav it in my ipod touch !!

[TheEagle1100]

@haashir007 Unfortunately no. I'm just a fan of the game who decided to make a very simplistic clone of it.

[TheEagle1100]

I don't have the code for PapiJump, I just wrote a clone of the game.

[nickthomasclan]

Where did you get your source for Papijump?
