guys, I want to learn how to make iPhone app games. what language should I learn?

Hi there,

For Apple devices, learn Swift for iOS. Previously, you would have used Objective-C but this is not used for new apps. If you're creating from scratch; Swift is the tool for you.

Good luck!

Steve.

Hey Steve is Swift a language like Java as well and do they offer on this website or no? and yes I will be learning everything from scratch. Tozhar.

Hi,

Swift is an object oriented language like Java, C++ etc. It is designed specifically for iOS, I believe.

You'd best start with the Swift language itself: Learn Swift, Intermediate Swift. Then move into the graphical elements of iOS with Beginner iOS and Intermediate iOS.

There are Game Development courses too which might be of interest.
