You’ve been thinking about jumping into iOS game development for a while now, but you need a little nudge. Here you have it. Bloc’s Android Director Stan Idesis has crafted and published Swiftris, a free ebook that will guide you through the basics of Apple’s Swift programming language, putting the focus on game development libraries and APIs.
It doesn’t matter if you are already a developer in other programming languages or a complete coding newbie. The book starts from the very basics and, step-by-step, gets into more advanced features including SpriteKit, Apple’s API to create 2D games. But no sweat, you won’t be left behind due to its well-organized topics and lessons, plus the straightforward explanations of new concepts.
Of course, what you will be building is a mobile Tetris game. That makes it even easier to learn since we all know its gameplay, controls and expected features. No fees, no tricks. You aren’t even asked to sign up. Go to Bloc, input your email and gain access to the free web version of Swiftris ebook.
Oh, and don’t forget to contact us for a review once your brand-new game hits the App Store.
