Writing Game Center Apps in iOS Bringing Your Players Into the Game Learn how to integrate Game Center features directly into your iPhone and iPad apps with the recipes in this short and concise cookbook. Each recipe gives you the solution and the code for adding features such as leaderboards, user authentication, achievements, multiplayer games and many others, using Apple's GameKit framework in the iOS SDK. "Personally I would like apps that I buy to be worth the money that I pay for them," says Nahavandipoor (@vandadnp). "This book makes sure you learn how to do some pretty 'funky' animations and effects in your iOS apps, enough to get you up to speed with Core Graphics and Core Animation." |

Jazz up your iPhone and iPad apps with some slick graphics and animation—and keep users from looking elsewhere. This book shows developers with even little Cocoa programming experience how to create impressive graphics and animation effects with relatively easy coding.
