Beginning iOS 5 Games Development: Using the iOS 5 SDK for iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch

Summary

In this chapter, we explored how to create an input-driven game. This included understanding the management of a game state, the basics of user input, and the use of core animation to create animations. Game state is managed by creating a class to hold the data required to re-create the game in a display-agnostic way. To allow the user to interact with the game, basic gesture recognizers must be added to the correct views. A controller class interprets each user gesture in a game-specific context and produces animations that reflect a change in the game state.
