How to Develop an iPad Board Game App: Part 1/2

Where To Go From Here?

Here is an example project of all the code you have developed in this tutorial so far.

In part two of this tutorial, you’ll be adding some code to keep score, some end-game logic to determine when the game is over, as well as a computer opponent, since playing Reversi against yourself isn't much of a challenge. :]

Until next time, why not look at implementing a different board game, such as Go? You will find that many of the techniques that you have employed throughout this tutorial will work well for a whole range of other games.

I look forward to seeing what you will create! In the meantime, if you have any questions or comments, please join the forum discussion below.
