Details
TowerVille was our term (2) project for our game development course. Our team of 4 was tasked with building a mobile game for iOS in 4 months. The game was to be built on xCode (Swift) for an iPhone 6 via a VirtualBox VM.
TowerVille featured 5 towers, 3 farms, and 3 enemy types in an endless wave onslaught mode. Players achieve their high-score by total money earned when their home eventually falls.
I built our own custom renderer through OpenGL, core gameplay classes (farms, towers, enemies, game manager) and linked iPhone's UI system into our game.
This project taught me a lot about the Apple development life cycle, graphical rendering, and performance management which was crucial on a device as old as the iPhone 6.
