About

During the first week of the course, you will learn all the Objective-C you'll need to know and how to use Cocos2D, an easy to use open source graphics engine. You'll then take 3 weeks to make your own original game and enter it into MIT's first iOS game competition for cash prizes! There will be lectures throughout IAP on various issues related to making games.

No prior iOS experience required, but you'll need to know object oriented programming and have access to a Mac.
