What resources do you recommend for game programming on the iPhone?

Question

I would like to find a book titled "Game programming for iPhone". But since it seems not to exist yet what resources would you recommend to get the information that would be contained in that book? Any book or tutorials on "generic" game programming? or maybe Cocoa game programming?

Answer 1

There are some good tutorials on iCodeBlog. You may want to check the tutorials sidebar for information on getting set up and getting started with a simple program before diving into the game programming tutorial.

Answer 2

Here are some good blogs from professional game developers that might help:

Answer 3

I'd also recommend Keith Peters' tutorials on making a simple bouncing ball with gravity on the iPhone, with accelerometer support and whatnot. He's coming from a Flash/Actionscript developer's point of view, and the tutorials are extremely helpful if you're not already familiar with Objective-C and Cocoa development.
