Case Study: Three Card Monte on the iPhone
Blockdot released Three Card Monte, one of the first iPhone
applications to be created with Adobe Flash. By using technology
available with the release of Adobe Flash Professional CS5,
Blockdot
s game developers greatly reduced the turnaround time it
takes to release an application compared with traditional iPhone
development.
In Three Card Monte, you must keep your eyes on the prize as
the dealer flips, shuffles, and rearranges the cards! When the dealer
stops, choose the queen of hearts by touching a card on the screen.
Pick the correct card to earn points, and move on to the next
round! The fast-paced action becomes increasingly challenging as
you play
'
but be careful: get fooled by the dealer and the game
comes to an end!
After you play, you can post your high score directly to the
Kewlbox.com worldwide leader board
letting you see how you
stack up against other grafters. See Figures 14.9 and 14.10 for
