Under the Bridge

Quite a while back we wrote you a post on cocos2d for iPhone, an interesting-looking 2d animation framework. Well, the fellow who did that has come up with a nifty way of monetizing that; first off, wrote called Sapus Tongue, available in 99¢ full and Lite free versions so you can see for yourself how well it works in practice … and is selling off the source code for $199 or $399 with support.

Sapus Tongue v1.2rc source code:

• Basic game scenes:
  • Intro scene
  • Menu scene
  • Instructions scene
  • HighScore scene
  • Select Character scene
  • Game + Game HUD scene
  • Credits Scene

• Sound support that has pause/resume/play/stop
• Local and global high score code: SQLite, NSURL and more
• Transitions and code that prevents delays in transitions
• Chipmunk integration: optimizations, tunning, debug mode, etc.
• Accelerometer as input
• UIKit controls integration: UITable, UIKeyboard, UIAlert and more
• Code that embeds and play a video file
• Gameplay with pause, restart options
• Menus & buttons
• Parallax Scrolling, Tile Map and LabelAtlas
• Tips that prevents initial flicker from Default.png to transition
• The sources are in objective-c and they are easy to read.

That’s actually not a bad price at all for a full working example of an iPhone game. Why, we might give ourselves that for a Christmas present just to take a look at how well this cocos2d thing works in practice!
