Setting up Your Game Project - Beginning iOS6 Games Development - page 24

The name of the class should be ViewController_iPhone , and it should be a subclass of
ViewController . Remember that the class ViewController is a UIViewController, so ViewController_
iPhone will be a UIViewController as well. In this example, we don't want to have either check
box checked, since we already have a XIB file to use with this class. We want to repeat the
process and create an iPad version of our UIViewController. When you create that class, name it
UIViewController_iPad and leave both check boxes unchecked. When you are done, your project
should look like Figure 2-11 .
Figure 2-11. Device-specific UIViewController subclasses added
In Figure 2-11 , we see our project and the new UIViewController subclasses we just created. To
keep things organized, I find it handy to put the device-specific classes in their own group.
Now we have XIB files and UIViewController classes for each type of device, iPhone and iPad. If
we want to code that as shared behavior, we will add it to the class ViewController . If we want to
add code that is specific to a particular device, we would add it to either ViewController_iPad or
ViewController_iPhone . Now we can move forward and start implementing our application. Let's
look at the UI elements first.
