Particle Collider
It you want to see what is possible with the code we have been using in the tutorials check out Particle Collider on the App Store. ExoticPixel have done a great job on this game which has sharp graphics and sound and is very well put together. They have very kindly mentioned 71Squared in the credits for the game as they are using elements of the tutorial code such as the Image, AngelCodeFont and Sound Manager classes.
I think this is an excellent example of what can be achieved and also of how slick indie apps can look.
Great job and I’m looking forward to their next game.
If anyone has a game that uses any code from the tutorials and they would like to share it let me know. I am going to put a link section up for games that use elements from the tutorials so people can see what is achievable.

@Pablo, your game may not use code from the tutorials just some ideas, but that is a cool take on the original snakes game. I’m impressed by the really slick look of the game, very nicely put together.

Hi Mike and readers,
I have emailed Mike with some code fixes for the SpriteSheet class because of a possible defect because of Texture2D. Also i have attached some code to convert the player X/Y position from a CGPoint to a TileMap Point.

@Johnny/Mike,
I’m working on a similar project. Please send me the code to convert the player X/Y position from a CGPoint.

My game (Space Snake: http://www.shiftingmind.com/spacesnake ) doesn’t use any of the tutorial code per se, but all my font rendering code is insipired in your tutorial’s bitmap font code.
