Tech Stack
Objective-C Cocos2D XCode
The game is developed in Objective-C using the open source Cocos2D
GameCenter API
The game integrated the GameCenter API for high score tracking and achievements. This involved doing a lot of asynchronous code using Objective-C's selectors.

The games used Objective-C's Automatic Reference Counting for memory management. This was reliant on the code being designed efficiently, avoiding circular references, and ensuring objects did not linger in memory due to phantom references.
