I’m currently working in Art In Software Sdn Bhd (AIST) as a part time programmer. I love AIST because the working environment is very good. Thanks to Mr. Amran (my boss) because he provides us 24 hours unlimited snack (I love potato chips. LOL!). Also got a big monitor screen for each staff:

(even this picture cannot fit the monitor size. LOL!)

My task given is to create a turn based strategic game on iPhone and we work together as team to finish the project. Well it is not easy to develop game because there are many new things I have to learn for example the game AI; the way to make game think intelligently. I use Cocos2d framework which is an open source framework to create 2D game You can download the framework at http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org if you are interested in developing 2D game for iPhone. It is very powerful game engine.

What do you need if you want to develop iPhone game using Cocos2d?

1) iPhone / iPod touch

2) a Mac. and don’t use Hackintosh on PC because it’s not going to work :D

3) iPhone SDK with X-code (FREE) can be downloaded at  http://developer.apple.com/iPhone/program/download.html

4) Cocos2d framework which can be downloaded at http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/download

5) Objective-C programming reference. You need to know about Objective-C programming language because Cocos2d for iPhone is designed to use this language.

6) Join the official forum! http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum
