Seminar: Games Development with iOS - WS 12/13

Description

The course is aimed to give an introduction to Objective-C programming with Xcode 4.5 IDE and iOS 6.x and to games development. Students will learn how to program in Objective-C and how to use Cocoa Touch libraries to develop iOS applications. The course language is English.

Goal

The goal of the course is to prepare iOS beginners to participate in projects focusing on the development of iOS applications for real customers. After the introductory sessions on the first three days, the students have one week to develop their own game in groups of two. Additionally experienced students (tutors) will hold presentations about advanced topics and supervise the students in their development. At the end of the seminar, the students deliver and demonstrate their first iOS game in a short presentation.

Prerequisite

Participating students are familiar with the concepts of object oriented programming and have experiences in a programming language such as Java, C++ or C#. Background knowledge in Objective-C and MacOS X is not required.
