2D Crokinole Game Developer

Role Overview

I am looking for an iOS Game Developer to refine the user interface, enhance game elements, and optimize the physics of a 2D Crokinole game for iOS that has a beta version already built. Your expertise will be pivotal in adapting the game for iPad, ensuring a seamless and engaging player experience across devices.

Responsibilities

• Polish the user interface and game elements to improve the overall player experience.
• Enhance the physics engine to ensure realistic gameplay in the Crokinole game.
• Tweak the heuristic AI module for optimal strategic game performance.
• Assist in converting the game from iOS to iPad, maintaining functionality and performance while adding a two player mode where the iPad acts as the board for both players.
• Utilize SpriteKit to refine the board and discs, and employ SwiftUI or UIKit to refine menus and the game shell.
• Work within an architecture that includes a GameScene, a view model type layer for tracking game state, and separate modules for game rules, physics logic, and AI.

Required Skills

• Proficiency in Swift and SpriteKit for game development.
• Experience with SwiftUI or UIKit for designing user interfaces and menus.
• Understanding of game architecture, including view model layers and modular separation of game logic.
• Experience implementing gesture based inputs such as flick or swipe.
• Comfortable working in an existing codebase.

Nice to Have

• Experience in optimizing games for multiple Apple devices, including iPad.
• Familiarity with heuristic AI module integration for enhanced gameplay.
