Once you’ve had a chance to look through the project and fully understand what’s there, keep reading and we’ll discuss some philosophy about physics engines! The Tao of Physics EnginesĪ platform game revolves around its physics engine, and in this tutorial you’ll be creating your own physics engine from scratch. Right now it’s just waiting for you to make it fly away! (Sorry for all the jokes Norah!) A class called Player, which will contain the Koala’s logic. A class called GameLevelLayer, that will do a lot of the physics engine work. I put together a level map for you, based on the SMB level 1-1 you all know and love! Includes the Koalio free game art pack from Ray’s wife Vicki. Take a look through the project and you’ll see it contains the following:
This starter project is pretty bare bones – the main point of giving it to you is so that you’d have all of the images/sounds you’ll need for the project pre-integrated. That’s right – just a boring empty screen! :] You’ll be filling that out in the rest of the tutorial. You should see the following appear on the screen: Once you’ve downloaded the file, unzip it, open the project in Xcode, and build and run. To get started, go ahead and download the starter project for this tutorial. If you are new to Cocos2D, check out some of the other tutorials on this site first.ĭo you have the necessary koala-fications? Then let’s get hopping! Getting Started This tutorial assumes you are already familiar with Cocos2D development. That way you’ll be able to focus on learning how to implement the heart of a platformer game: the physics engine. In this tutorial, you’re going to recapture the magic and create your own platform jumper game – but since the hero will be a Koala instead of a plumber, we’ll call it “Super Koalio Brothers!” ]Īlso to keep things simple instead of adding enemies we’ll just have a simple challenge - avoid the spiky floors. Check out his latest app – Factor Samurai!įor many of us, Super Mario Brothers was the first game that made us drop our jaws in gaming excitement.Īlthough video games started with Atari in many ways, the intuitive and visceral controls of Super Mario Brothers and fun level design were such a dramatic improvement that it felt like something completely new – and we couldn’t put it down for hours! This is a blog post by iOS Tutorial Team member Jacob Gundersen, an indie game developer who runs the Indie Ambitions blog. Learn how to make a game like Super Mario!
