05 / Game development course

2D iPhone Game Development Lab

Design and build an original 2D iPhone game with scenes, input, physics, feedback, saving and a repeatable test loop.

Purpose

What this product is

A project-led SpriteKit course for building a small original 2D game without relying on a copied franchise or unexplained engine code. The programme moves from mechanic and scene design through input, physics, camera, audio, persistence, performance, accessibility and release preparation, while making asset ownership and game-loop trade-offs explicit.

Fit check

Who it is designed for

Swift learners who want a structured first 2D game project

What you receive

01 Twenty-eight recorded game-development lessons
02 Original starter art, audio placeholders and SpriteKit project
03 Scene, mechanic, input and difficulty design worksheets
04 Physics, save-state, performance and device-test examples
05 Asset-rights, accessibility and release preparation checklists

Curriculum

What the work covers

Define the playable loop

Reduce the game idea to input, response, objective, failure and restart before building content.

Scenes and node structure

Organise menu, gameplay and result scenes with understandable ownership and transitions.

Touch input and movement

Translate gestures into predictable actions and support different screen sizes.

Physics and collisions

Create categories, contact rules and stable responses while debugging edge cases visibly.

Camera, feedback and audio

Use motion, particles, sound and haptics intentionally without hiding the mechanic.

Progress and persistence

Save settings and progression safely and design recovery for interrupted play.

Performance and accessibility

Profile frame behaviour, reduce unnecessary work and offer readable, controllable play.

Testing and balancing

Build a repeatable session plan and record friction, difficulty and device-specific issues.

Release preparation

Document assets, privacy, age-rating inputs, screenshots, metadata and known limitations.

Delivery sequence

How it works after purchase

1
Complete the mechanic brief and open the supplied starter project.
2
Build one working scene at a time and test every new rule in isolation.
3
Run short play-test sessions and record device, build version and observed behaviour.
4
Replace placeholder assets with properly licensed originals before any public release.
