Flash Professional CS5: Creating a Simple Game for iOS Devices

In this course, Todd Perkins shows how to use Flash Professional CS5 to create a game to play on iOS devices, utilizing device hardware like the accelerometer and integration with a local database. The course covers the game development from start to finish, including planning and preparation, character and background animation, creating interactions and scoring mechanism, and finally testing and publishing the app. Exercise files are included with the course.

Topics include:

• Optimizing assets
• Planning game play and viewing class structure
• Making the character move and jump
• Adding sound effects
• Adding accelerometer support
• Creating reusable classes
• Looping background animations
• Detecting collisions
• Using a timer
• Increasing scrolling speed
• Acquiring testing certificates and provisioning profiles
• Troubleshooting performance issues
• Submitting to the App Store
