Former EA game developer turned Indie. Developing cocos2d iPhone games. Sharing what i know and learn on www.learn-cocos2d.com

I'm the author of the Apress book Learn iPhone and iPad Cocos2D Game Development.

I'm working on an improved version of cocos2d-iphone which includes cocos3d, Lua, and lots of convenience features. It's called Kobold2D and available here: http://www.kobold2d.com

comment Why are MVC & TDD not employed more in game architecture?
Based on this question and other thoughts I tried this and implemented a MVC game engine. The result is KoboldTouch (koboldtouch.com) and I can tell you, MVC works great for game development! The overhead is absolutely minimal, and the models can use components to further separate commonly used logic from concrete implementations.

Awesome, I did not consider the map's orientation. Great choice of pictures btw.

Try Kobold2D (kobold2d.com) - it's an improved Cocos2D engine with more sample code and easier to get into. I'm the author so take it with a grain of salt, but it's also what my users are saying. :)
