How do I make 2D games?

To make 2D games for Apple platforms, you can start by exploring the session titled "Port advanced games to Apple platforms" from WWDC 2024. This session provides a tutorial that takes you step-by-step through the main elements of the porting process, including a simple 2D game project. This project includes all the code and configuration needed to target both macOS and iOS, making it a great starting point for developing 2D games on Apple devices. You can modify, experiment with, and use parts of this sample code for your own projects.

For more detailed guidance, you can refer to the chapter on "Port your game" in the same session, which starts at 02:07.

Additionally, if you're interested in creating games for visionOS, you might want to look into the session "Meet TabletopKit for visionOS," which provides tools and frameworks for building tabletop-style games. This session covers setting up the play surface, implementing rules, and integrating RealityKit effects, which can be useful for creating interactive 2D game experiences.

For more information on designing games, the session "Design advanced games for Apple platforms" offers insights into designing adaptive game interfaces and optimizing for different device aspect ratios, which can be crucial for 2D game development.
