To learn Objective-C and the iPhone API I decided to write a Sudoku game for the iPhone. It was so fun to play that I decided to release it to the general public. With the help of a friend who is very talented in the art of graphic design we came up with a Zen garden theme and thus called it Zen Garden Sudoku. It is now available on the iTunes AppStore for your iPhone or iPod Touch. Enjoy!
A few people have asked recently what I’m up to so I figured I should at least blog about it. For the past 2 months I’ve immersed myself in the iPhone SDK in an attempt to become both a fluent iPhone developer as well as an OS X developer. To reach my goal of fluency I decided I should build an iPhone application that I’d want to use on a daily basis and something I might sell in the iTunes AppStore. That application is Sudoku. Why? First, because I love playing Sudoku. Second, because it’s a fairly graspable application for my first iPhone attempt. Third, because there’s a good chance of people buying it from the store. Not that I’m not looking for this to be the killer iPhone application nor a huge money maker. It’s just my first or hopefully many applications I’ll develop for the platform. My task list is telling me that I’ll be code complete by August 15th. If all things go well I’ll publish a week or so after I return from Burning Man. I’ve registered a new domain that I’ll be using for self publishing. I’ll announce it when it is up and running.
Otherwise I’m still enjoying San Francisco this summer. The weather has been accomodating for development but I’m looking forward to fall where it should heat up. Wow, did I just say that?
