I’m still tinkering, but I pretty much just finished my first iPhone app that’s more interesting than a list of text. As I mentioned before, I’m taking the iPhone class at UMD this semester; and this is/was lab #3. Basically it’s just a small app that creates bubbles as you tap the screen, and pops them if you tap the bubble. The project specification is online here.
I’ve added a few additional features: “pop” sound and vibration, custom bubbles, multiple bubble sizes and additional colors, application icon, about screen, and removing the status and icon bars while bubbles are on screen. It’s probably not worth $0.99 (and I can’t publish to the App Store even if I wanted to), but at least one of the kids likes it. Mostly, I’m jazzed to have created something that works on the phone. Here are some screenshots (so you can see what you aren’t missing).
Looks neat. I’m curious–why can’t you publish to the App Store?

I’m pretty sure our developer license for the class doesn’t allow publishing to the App Store.
