So what is left? I still have Game Center integration, local score storage, settings layer, how to play layer, and then graphics overhaul and audio. Most of this list won’t take long at all. It is the graphics overhaul and the creation of audio that will take me the longest time.

I have no set end date but have been and will continue to work on this game everyday until finished.

So what have I been up to? Well, since my last post I’ve broken down and bought a MacBook. For various reasons but most importantly to finally dive in the iPhone SDK. A lot of my attention has been spent playing with Objective-C, XCode, and the iPhone SDK and I have to admit that it is quite enjoyable to mess with. It is taking me some time to get used to as Objective-C is just so strange to me but nothing I can’t handle.

I do hope that if I become familiar with the language and API that I may have something up on Apple’s AppStore but we all know how my home projects have been. I do hope this can finally keep my interest. Here are a few screenshots of what I’ve been doing.

They are not much but the first shows a simple menu screen which goes into the game screen shown by the other 2 images. The last image shows that the squares are clickable. I really don’t know where I’ll be going with this but we’ll see what comes up as I continue learn the environment.

On a side note, I am loving my new MacBook and the Mac OS X. This is my first time since having an Apple II in my middle school where I’ve touched a mac. I had no idea just how easy it is to use, everything just works and works really well.
