I am looking for anyone that can help create some source and a tutorial with me to answer how to create a game like "air control" or "harbor patrol" - just a simple source file where a user can draw using their finger and an object will follow - no need for final collision detection just the simple follow path source.

Thanks Matthew

PS If anyone knows of a tutorial already out there please point it out I do not want to reinvent the wheel, I would like to screen capture the tutorial and post it for others when finished. Anyone who helps will get attribution and a link to their sites.

Have a look at MoveMe.app from the SDK examples

Thank you so much - not sure how I missed this one but definitely helpful - do you know of any apps or tutorials that will have a graphic follow the exact path your finger makes on the screen by chance this is the best way to describe exactly what I am looking for.

Here's a sample app from the Stanford iPhone Programming Course that does something similar to what you want.

Thanks so much - close close getting there - this code example is great would you know how to change it so if I draw a path the red box will follow the path my finger draws?

I'm not at my Mac right now, so I can't test, but I guess that if you remove the animation it will follow your finger straight away.

I'm not sure whether you have found what you have asked for, but still I think I can help you out with this online step by step easy to learn methodology in their iphone programming tutorials
