Create level with pList

With the small game, you need some database to easy create a level map. CoreData is so hard for your little game. So pList is suitable for you to create a small data for your game.

This is easy to change and give more level to your games. It contains all the base information for your game and you can change it very easy.
This is good for Sprite Kit, too. All this come from Apple so they will perfect with other.

So first we should know how to create a Plist File:

+ Just create a new File in your Xcode project and you will see it from

* This time you only need to create your pList to start store your data. This will be constructor like this:

- You have 2 types of collection data to store an data with have many properties: Dictionary and Array

+ Dictionary to store the different type of property

+ Array to store to similar property for your object

- The other types is used to store  the data for you to use this:

+ Boolean

+ Data

+ Date

+ Number

+ String

- This will very easy to get your data from pList:

    NSString* lkPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath];

    NSString* lkFinalPath = [lkPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"LKGameData.plist"];

    NSDictionary *lkPlistData = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:lkFinalPath];

=> This code will get all the data from pList for ready to create your level.

- You can check all the property in this pList by using:

    NSLog(@"The property list contains: %@", lkPlistData);

How can I start programming game on Mobile?

What do you do when starting programming game?


First of all, I saw all people (not only programmer) think making a game is very easy. They only see what happen in a top game and see certain feature, they think it is easy because many feature are in a lot of game.

And here is my advices, this is not easy. All of feature you must do or find them on Internet. You won't know anything about game, you will be very hard to find stuff to do this. So try a small game and you will see how much you must do to finish a game.

There are many things you must do to create a game (not good game) that is accepted by Apple (not the users). You must do step by step to collect experience and stuff to do game. It is simple if you like playing game, but harder if you only want to create game for commercial. Try to get some developer that like game and they do it because of their hoppy.


There are 5 level of games:

+ Tutorial game: Game that only created by some programer to test or teach you do something. It is lack of feature. Normally, it only have game play scene and no more (sometime only 1 scene). It is used only for learning not for publish. Apple won't accept these game in AppStore.

+ Simple game: Game that be accepted by Apple. It is a game because this have all feature to call a game:
- A gameplay
- Menu
- Conclusion
=> However, these game is not keep user long. They will become boring very fast and never come back to your game. It only use for learning and testing your game. But this is what you need to do when you begin programming. Try to publish some simple game and you will gain a lot of experience  and stuff to do your next game.

+ Good game: Game is accepted by some of user. Now you game is better, they have some good feature and attractive your user,
This will have some of these feature:
- A good gameplay
- Keep user longer (1 - 3hours advance, this is good to keep user 3 hours)

+ True game: This game is attractive by a lot of user (milestone is 10.000 users). Your game is very good now.
This will have:
- Good gameplay
- Multiple mission
- Addiction
- Suitable with some user (they will play it a lot - 100 hours)

+ Top game: Your game have a unique feature (Facebook connection, Server - Client, ... ). You have huge fans and some of them are crazy because of your game.

* After you done a simple game (level 2) you will get a lot of experience and stuff to do next game. Please don't try to go over this level. You cannot finish a Good game immediate when you just start. Moreover, you will done 30 % your good game after you finish your simple game because most of them can be reuse very easy.
