Our October meetup has been scheduled for the 24th at KU Edwards Campus Regnier Hall Room 150. For this meetup two long time members, Josh Roberts and David Smith will present on topics they have been working on.
We will not have a November and a December meetup due to holidays. We will reconvene on January 30th, 2014. Please feel free to keep the discussion alive on the message boards in the meantime!
Thank you everyone for coming out to the last meetup. We plan to meet again at Barley's Brewhaus after the meetup.

Josh Roberts, the co-creator of Kitty Pig, will be speaking about 2D Mobile Game Development.  While covering topics from Game Engines to Physics Engines, he will take you on a journey through the development process for a soon to be released game called Kitty Pig.  Following the demonstration of Kitty Pig, the meeting format will turn to an open Show and Tell.  If you have developed a mobile game, this is your chance to show it off!

Topics:

-       About the Mobile Game Industry
-       Lifecycle of a Mobile Game
-       Hello, Cocos2d Game Engine
-       Essential Game Development Tools
-       Demo of the Mobile Game Kitty Pig

David Smith, will present on Using Appcelerator Titanium for Rapid Mobile App. Appcelerator Titanium is a platform for developing mobile apps for both iOS and Android.  Titanium allows the developer to create native apps with native UI controls by writing cross-platform code in JavaScript.  Recently, Titanium has been updated to use a new technology called "Alloy", which further speeds app development by following the model-view-controller architecture, and allows the developer to quickly create the UI using XML and style sheets to define the views.
If you have a project you want to show and talk with the group about for future meetups, please contact us. If you would like to hear about any specific topic in any future meetups, please feel free to let the group know!
Snacks and drinks will be provided, so please RSVP if you plan on attending so we can get proper amounts of each.
