Two cards match if they have the same value, for example two kings. The idea is to yell “Snap!” as quickly as possible when you see that any of the open cards form a matching pair. If it’s your turn, you turn over the top card from your pile. The players take turns in clockwise order. The cards are placed face down in front of the players. You win cards by spotting a matching pair.Īt the start of each round, the dealer shuffles the deck and deals out the cards clockwise around the table until there are none left in the deck. In case you’re not familiar with the rules of Snap!, the game is played with 2 to 4 players using a standard 52-card deck.

If you have a home Wi-Fi network, then you can make do with a single device, but ideally you’ll have more than one (I used four different devices while writing the code for this tutorial). If you still have Xcode 4.2, then it’s time to upgrade!Īlso, to test the multiplayer functionality, you will need at least two devices running iOS 5 or better. To follow along with this tutorial, you will need Xcode 4.3 or later. Most of the content on the screen is static and you’ll only be animating a few views at a time. The reason for not using OpenGL or Cocos2D is that you don’t really need them! UIKit is fast enough for what you’re going to do here, and excels for simple card/board games like this. Instead, you’ll be making it with nothing more than standard UIImageViews and UIView-based animation! In addition, this monster 7-part tutorial will demonstrate how to make the game multiplayer, so you can play against your friends over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi using the peer-to-peer features of Game Kit.Įven though you’re making a game in this tutorial, you won’t be using OpenGL or a game framework like Cocos2D.
