[Paused] iOS port of Casey Muratori's awesome Handmade Hero project.
For those coming here to find a "proper" way to setup an iOS platform layer, this sadly won't suffice. Most major areas (rendering, audio, touch input) have issues in this codebase. For a (more) updated account of those systems, refer to my repo "ios_test" which attempts to nail-down some of the oddities of iOS.
- CoreAudio sound
- Quartz graphics. Currently blitting game buffer directly to screen without scaling.
- UIKit touch input
- OpenGLES graphics
- Live-loop replays
- Live-loop editing. So iOS 9 does support dynamic libraries; however, for the platform layer to have visability of a newly-compiled game library, we have to be running on Simulator (and even then, not sure if it's possible).
Code is still just debug-quality.
- Preorder of Handmade Hero! This is possibly the coolest game project ever, and is the only way to get access to the source code which you'll need to build this game. Handmade Hero can be preordered from the project's main site here (https://handmadehero.org/)
- A Mac with Xcode and the latest SDK (current 9.2)
- Clone this repository with
clone --recursive. This will also clone Casey's GitHub repo into the handmade/ directory (if you have access!) - Unzip the game's assets into handmade/data/.
- Build using Xcode and run on the Simulator (or on a device if you have an iOS Developers Membership). I don't know how to run iOS app any other way other than through Xcode. Depending on the day you're building, you may have to manually add/remove compile targets and files from the project. Currently, the project is setup for day 69.
ios_handmade/ios_handmade - my code
ios_handmade/handmade/code - Casey's code
ios_handmade/handmade/data - Casey's unzipped data
- Analog left-thumbstick maps to movement
- 4 blue buttons on lower-right map to Action[Up/Down/Left/Right]
- 2 blue buttons on top-left map to Back/Start
- Red button in top-right is for live-loop replay recording and playback

This is my first OS project - I'm doing this for fun, to learn about the iOS platform. If you have any thoughts, concerns, tips or tricks, feel free to contact me at zach@okeefe.io.
