I’m planning to build a Turn-based game and I’m looking at the various options and wondering which is the best way to go?
There’s Game Center and the turn-based API in iOS5, but that seems to be a pretty tough road to go down, and there’s just about 1 tutorial (I’m new to obj-c) online to help get that going
Or maybe it’s better to go with another API, maybe something like this
Are there any oher options, or is that pretty much it? I’m looking for the most straightforward option.
It depends on how complicated your game is. The nice thing about Game Center is that it’s free (vs Game Minion) and Apple supports it (vs running your own server).
I’d say Game Center is the most straight forward option. Ray’s tutorial is very good, and you’ll probably become a better objective-c programmer by using Game Center vs another solution.
edit: With Mac OS X Mountain Lion bringing Game Center to Macs, it’s technically cross-platform once Mountain Lion is released this summer.
