Now I have to figure out a way to link my game model object to the view controller :)
What kind of a game object model? If it's just an NSObject or class you can #include "Class.h" to hook it up.

I expect I'll have more questions later!
I'll be ready. :)

I can't wait to start making a game! However it would take 2 hours to download Xcode and the Iphone SDK so I think I'll wait until I have more time.
Ah, I used iGetter. Cut the downloading time in half.

Bad news, you only uploaded the xcode .xcodeproj file. You gotta upload the file containing it, if you don't than none of your source code will be uploaded.

Your source was perfect except for:
Code: [Select]
background = [self loadImage:@"background" type:@"png"];  

ball = [self loadImage:@"ball" type:@"png"];
Your images have capitalized first letters, so it should be:
Code: [Select]
background = [self loadImage:@"Background" type:@"png"];  

ball = [self loadImage:@"Ball" type:@"png"];

Tutorial #3 is up! Or at least it's trying. Uploading at the moment. Make sure to download the newest template, has new stuff on it.
Ah, sorry guys, I broke the 10min tradition. This tutorial covers new amazing things so I got lost in the excitement and it went to 20min.

Hi Gandolf,

I'm totally new to Obj-C and not really sure of the scope of instances... I want my game engine object to be able to send messages to my view obect and vice versa, but as I understand it I need to have a Controler object which has instances of both my view class and my game engine class... Then the controller need to mediate between the two... This is a new way of working for me and will require reworking my game code a great deal...

Second question, I have built custom UIObjects (buttons which are animated), but they need to be animated with respect to the touch input. (i.e. Touch movement cause the icon to change more White if the touch moves up, more black if moves down etc...).. How can I do this, giving realtime feedback, without blocking the main thread of execution (and other animations)?

Third question... Does the AppDelegate run in a separate thread? What can I use this class for?
