FollowME!



Follow ME! was submitted almost a week ago and I expect it to be accepted soon. Follow ME! takes after the old Simon electronic game. The iphone will flash a sequence of buttons that you must repeat. Each time a new button will be added. I have made it to 11. Pretty tough!

This app was done as a teaching exercise in turn based play utilizing an event loop. This lesson built on other past lessons such as animation, sound, and efficient record keeping. Event loop programs are a bit trickier to do for the novice. It is not a natural way of thinking about things, (at least I dont think that way!) However it is a powerful paradigm that is useful in many instances. I call it Hollywood Programming. That is --- Dont call us We'll Call You!

I also am doing an experiment with this app. Details to follow! Stay Tuned.
