Hello All,
I am working on a checkers game and I want to add the game center. It's a turn based game. I want to check the friend list of game center and I want to know who is busy, online, offline, play with my friend, etc.
How Can I make it?
I learned with the official documention of apple. But is there any blog tutorial or doc file that can be helpful for me.
Thanks.
There is a very good tutorial on the Ray Wenderlich blog: How To Make A Simple Multiplayer Game with Game Center Tutorial
It works with the Cocos2D framework instead of CocoaTouch but this is a very good tutorial to start with.

I have a completed Sprite Kit game that is solid on it's own, However I would really like to incorporate real-time multiplayer functionality into it. The only problem is I have not been able to find any tutorials going over how to do so (raywenderlich.com has one but it is with Objective-C and my game is in Swift).
I have read through Apple's documentation, however, it really just covers the logic of what is happening and lists pieces that are used as opposed to actually showing how to implement the code.
I was wondering if someone could help me with how to actually go about implementing the code. From what I can tell through my searches it is a pretty requested topic but there aren't any tutorial on this using swift.
my question is about the ray wenderlich's book
Learning Cocos2D: A Hands-On Guide to Building iOS Games with Cocos2D, Box2D, and Chipmunk
a very good book, now my question is that after studied it and implemented it, now when want to move forward for some more advanced game programing, what should be the way? means is there any other book or video tutorials links or any tutorials that can guide u from that stage for more advance work and expertise in iphone game programing...? plz. guide me thanx n Regards Saad
You could purchase a cocos2d programming book:

Or just search youtube of Cocos2d tutorials (preferably the more recent ones, but the older ones have some great info too!).
I'm currently working on an iOS card game. It's like bridge but, different is some rules. Anyway, I'm currently thinking of the multiplayer aspect of this game. I can't use the iOS 5 turn-based feature as it's async, which is useless in my case. So, the question is, can this type of multiplayer games be implemented on using GameCenter API ? Or i will have to come up with my own server.
Thanks a lot
You may start with Ray Wenderlich's great tutorials.
Clearly YES. You can use Game Center for that. Turn Based Games on Game Center based on synchronous mentality. Look at here http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/GameKit_Guide/ImplementingaTurn-BasedMatch/ImplementingaTurn-BasedMatch.html
I am creating one game in iphone in that I want to through any object in one box . link paper toss game. in this application user thorough paper in a glass. same think i want to do .
Can any one know how to create this game . any sample code to do this.
Thanks in advance
To answer your question, you'll likely want to use a game framework such as Cocos2d or Sparrow, in combination with a physics engine such as Box2D or Chipmunk.
I'm not at my development computer at the moment, but I'll post some helpful links when I get there in a few hours.
I agree with Jordaan that a game library might help. My choice of tool will be cocos2D.
You can follow the discussion "Best method for paper toss game" on Cocos2D forum
Today I just need some tips for my first iPhone Game.
In this game you need to protect something from enemies. But I don't know how to create this enemies randomly, and how I can save the data to each enemy (there can be many on the screen at once!)..?
I hope someone can give good tips or good links to tutorials..?
