Brief Intro to Tile Maps, Spritesheets and Atlases

Presentation

As part of our class this semester, we each gave a brief talk about an iOS related topic. Teacher Eric recorded the presentation, and gave us the videos. There was no expectation of sharing the talk with anyone else.

However, YouTube makes it far too easy to share things, so… here is the vid.  I’ve been playing video games since childhood and web developing for most of my career, I thought that was unique enough perspective to give a talk on.

I found a typo while giving the talk, I’ll leave that in for you to enjoy as well.

Here are the links from the resource page.
