Meghans Memory Game Menu
Wow there is a lot to learn about coding in XCode. Being a visual basic programmer, its almost like starting from scratch. Luckily, there is a lot of good information available with some google searches. I found one blog maintained by a game programmer that walks through the entire process of creating a simple duckhunt game. Following his examples I was able to start a new project and create a start-up splash screen and menu complete with some basic animation.

Building great software is a process and it starts the day you decide on a theme. Well folks, development has officially begun. Our theme is spelling words, the applications name is set to be Meghan’s Memory Game and it will feature an animated girl Meghan who works along with your youngster to learn weekly spelling words. The plan is to have two options, one to play the game and a second option to add words. When a child adds words, they will be asked to type the word, then record themselves (or a parent) saying the word, then a complete sentence using the word. Utilizing the child’s own spelling words will help drive their interest and help achieve the goal of getting them to learn something!

Now that we have the company formed, its a good time to start blogging about the development of our idea. So, to get started we signed up with Siteground for web hosting and installed the WordPress application. Our initial template design is “Gears” however as time permits we will work to modify this to suit more of the look and feel we are trying to achieve with RatCat.
