Anyone has Cocoa tutorials or simple game sample code? - Achenar - Nov 24, 2003 01:54 AM
Hi everybody
I've grown interest in Cocoa and just got Project Builder, so I want to try my hand at it. I know METAL, but I know it's very different. What I need is some tutorials on the basics of Objective-C or sample codes of simple games.
Thanks

There is this little web site called idevgames.com that has some downloads. check out <http://www.idevgames.com/content/download.php> - do a search for 'cocoa' or 'objective'.
Also go through the tutorials at <http://nehex.idevgames.com/> when it comes back online.
There is also this other little web site for a company called 'Apple.' (go fig) check out:
<http://developer.apple.com/games/>
<http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/Sample_Code/Graphics_3D.htm>
<http://developer.apple.com/games/samplecode.html>
<http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/Sample_Code/Cocoa.htm>
on your hard disk - go to:
<file:///Developer/Documentation/Games/Games.html>
<file:///Developer/Documentation/Cocoa/Cocoa.html>
<file:///Developer/Examples/>
<file:///Developer/Examples/AppKit/>
<file:///Developer/Examples/OpenGL>
and ask questions here!
Good Luck!
hth, Codemattic

I would recommend looking at the Missile Command source in the source code section.

The Missile Command download link does not seem to be working atm.
I would recommend checking out the source code for Hooptie, which I've personally found to be very helpful.
Deep Cocoa has a pretty good tutorial for Cocoa using OpenGL.

True, but (sadly) the original cocoa port by Brian Blackburn of the tutorials are not fully compatible with OS X 10.2 and up.
I'd recommend having a look at the new cocoa openGL basecode (always on nehe.gamedev.net). Wich shows a much more efficient way of setting up the openGl context, and also contains a basic Vector class, keyboard event catching and whatnot. Alas, the tutorials aren't on it yet, but it's a good way to get experience I guess.
