A year in the making (almost)
February 04, 2013
It has almost been a year since I started my latest iOS App: Astrosmash 4000 and I finally submitted it to the App Store for approval tonight.
For those of you old enough to remember the Intellivision game system, this is my version of a reboot of the Astrosmash game that I played for hours on end when I was a kid.
This is by far my most ambitious game to date. Retina graphics (for both the iPhone and iPad), physics, collision detection, arcade style game, in-app purchases, game genter integration. The list goes on and on.
You can check it out here until it is available on the App Store.

Singletons in Objective-C
January 30, 2012
I've done a fair amount of programming in Objective-C for my iOS applications and occasionally a Singleton instance of a class is a convenient pattern.
I am fully aware of the controversy revolving around Singletons and their use. I personally subscribe to the tenet that if a particular programming construct is useful, and not completely corrupting of the overall design of the application, I might as well take advantage of it. Singletons, in my opinion fall into this category.
This article will illustrate the technique I use to create Singletons in Objective-C.
