Purpose: Games Engines 1 for iPhone, iPad and Mac introduces the student to Cocos2D, a popular and highly supported Open Source game engine for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Game Engines greatly simplify and speed the game development process. The course starts with the basics of Cocos2D and gradually exposes the student to more advance concepts. These concepts include Scrolling bitmap screens, parallax effects, Particle Effects and more! This class compliments Game Programming 1 & 2 by exposing the student to a third party library that enhances and extends the concepts learned in Game Programming 1 & 2.
