(Hotel stay not included.)
Contact us if you have any questions.
Start your 2D game idea with a 3 day hands-on workshop covering Sprite Kit on iOS. Then chat with us over the following three weeks of mentoring and office hours. We call it 3x3. You’ll call it awesome.
We invite experienced programmers who are interested in iOS 2D game and interactive application development to bring their Mac and iOS device along and join us in Chicago. You will walk away with the basics of the developer tools, Objective-C, Foundation, UIKit, Sprite Kit, and game design. Throughout the four week sprint, we’ll help you prototype a 2D game idea and flesh it out.
For the win.
Jonathan Penn and Josh Smith are the Rubber City Wizards, consultants and mentors in a wide variety of software tools. You might have heard of them traveling around the country teaching the one day game development workshop with CocoaConf. They've worked in the game industry, participated in the 360iDev Game Jam, and regularly fight over which is the one true editor before giving up and going back to Xcode.
