Publish a children's book, comic book, photography gallery, reference guide, etc. All you need to provide is the pages and you've almost got an ebook ready to sell in the App Store.

Video 1 – Introduction
Video 2 - Using Cocos2D to build a flip book app. Topics covered include: Buttons and Menus, Singleton Classes, Transitioning Scenes/Layers. This video ends by creating a free or paid book application.
Video 3 - Adding in-App purchasing to make money off a free release of your book! Topics include: Getting setup in iTunes Connect with your Provisioning Profiles and creating the app ID / in-App purchase ID, adding the storekit framework, making the purchase, unlocking your content, NSUserDefaults, and restoring purchases.

You can also get the Ebook Starter Kit which was created using most of the same code in this session. Our Starter Kits also include video guides describing how to customize the template. Watch a Demo Video Here.

Video 1 - Animating Images / Sprites with Cocos2D
Video 2 - Writing a custom class. We create our own Cocos2D class for doing the same animation in video 1, but add some special options like tinting the entire animation, changing the opacity, looping from a random frame, etc.
Video 3 - Sprite Sheet Animations with Cocos2D. We explore the performance benefits of creating a single png file with all of our images (sprites) to animate
Video 4 - Adding effects and background sound with the Simple Sound Engine in Cocos2D.
Video 5 - Using your own fonts to make a score label in Cocos2D
Video 6 - Load your guns for two hours of "target practice" as we set up the foundation of a shooter game using Cocos2D. Top concepts include: setting up a Player Class, using a for loop to pick out which children in the scene are bullets, and radial or rectangular collision detection.
Video 7 & 8- The Wave Attack Game explained! Using the Player Class from our Target Practice game we start building a Wave Attack game. Your player fires at an increasing number of enemies decending toward you. Shoot 'em and they drop ammo. Each wave of enemies gets more difficult, and if they make it to the bottom of the screen, your health meter goes down. The code taught in this lesson is the foundation of potentionally hundreds of different games. And with some simple artwork changes, your gun-toting main player, could become a WW2 figther plane and you've got a 1942-style game instead!

You can also get the Wave Attack Game Starter Kit which was created using the same code in this session. Our Starter Kits also include video guides describing how to customize the template. Watch a Demo Video Here.

Its time for a REAL physics engine to get taught here at CartoonSmart and Box2D will do nicely! This is the same engine being used in hundreds of popular games in the App Store.

Video 1 - The Box2D Template Explained! You can watch this part for free here!

Video 2 - Learn how to modify the template to be Retina Display capable

Video 3 - Instead of adding plain boxes into the Box2D world, we drop
ninjas in and learn how to define with an exact collision shape around each ninja.

Video 4 - In this lesson we will explore the benefits of a custom class, we'll learn how to switch dynamic bodies to static bodies and vice versa (both randomly or at specific times), how to change the existing sprite and body definition (collision shape), and how to destroy bodies if they fall below a certain point.

Video 5 - In this video we modify the source files from the previous project to disable gravity and use Box2D to control a Pac-Man style maze game. We explore applying force to the character, adding sensors to detect contact with the level walls, and code a virtual swipe joystick to move the character in one direction while also storing a desired direction so when an opening in the maze is available the character will automatically go in that direction.




Buyers of this course can ALSO get the complete Angry Ninjas Starter Kit as part of the special package price below. Click here for full details or watch the demo video below. Buyers that include this kit will also get the 2 hour documentation video covering every Class created for the kit. You'll learn how to build and customize the Stack Objects, Enemies, and everything else!
