My Own App

Today I am not blogging about what we did in class (which, by the way, was totally awesome), but instead about the app I want to make. I have been thinking about it for a while, but I have narrowed it down to a couple of things. My first idea is that I would do something like the Tribble game. Obviously, I would switch out the icon and change the noise, but it seems like fun. I could do different things like make levels, where as you get to higher levels, the icons reproduce faster. I could also have a timer, and you could try and beat your high score. I don't know if this is possible, but after the game is built, I could try and set up a thing where you could compare your scores online against others, like Openfeint or Scorecenter. My second idea is to make a game just like the penguin one, where you have to get to a certain location within a time frame. I could design different levels, each getting harder as they go on. Please comment if you have any other ideas.

  1. I wonder whether the tribble game would have the gameplay to last...

    As far as OpenFeint or Scorecenter, Apple does have something called GameCenter. If you decide to purchase a subscription to be an Apple developer, it lets you put your games on that, so you can have high scores, trophies, and other social stuff. I haven't tried this yet, myself, but I went to a presentation on it in October - it doesn't look too bad.
