Take two of integrating Tiled levels with the kit. More recent than the previous video.

This video will show you everything you need to know to layout your levels and define square, circular or linear boundaries boundaries in the starter kit using Tiled.

This video discusses the Root dictionaries and arrays in the GameData.plist. Hear a little bit about each of the following topics: Debug Settings, Game Settings, Collectibles, Characters, Levels, Save Points, Inventory, Weapons, Buttons, Images, Labels, Offers, Menus, Maps, XP, Data, and In App Purchasing.

This video talks in detail about the Fantastic Worlds iOS Starter Kit's inventory / collectible system as well as In-Game Currency, which can be used to buy items within the game. In-Game Currency can be collected during regular game play as an award or found item, but you can also sell currency for real money in the App Store.

This video describes how to setup characters with the Fantastic Worlds iOS Starter kit. In the beginning we will talk about how to set a specific character for a particular level. You will then learn how to define animations, movement vectors, attack vectors, physics bodies, whether the character fires a weapon, and much more.

This video describes how to setup weapons with the Fantastic Worlds iOS Starter kit. Learn all the properties which make up a projectile weapon (or non projectile). Weapons can be equipped by default and also included as collectible objects in the level. Enemies / objects also use the same Weapons dictionary to attack players, so we will discuss that as well.

This video details how to setup Portals for characters to enter or exit a level. You'll also learn how to require entry to a level with a certain amount of inventory.

Here we will talk about common and not-so-common Objects, which is an intentionally broad word, since Objects could be anything from background art, walls, platforms, tables to push around, and increasing in complexity to falling boulders that damage the character, laser beam guns, roaming enemies, monsters that throw projectiles or simple friendly villagers that impart clues.

As of Build 1.0.5 of the Fantastic Worlds iOS Starter Kit, you can now include a control pad with optional joystick to move players in the app. This adds a lot of fine tuned control over the character as you can now move precisely in any direction and in a platformer world, you can jump forward and adjust mid-air. Weapons can also be fired in the same direction (vector) the character is moving. And in terms of the control pad / joystick you can do some fun things to give players flexibility in how they use it. For example, the control pad can move around based on the initial touch location (so the control pad and joystick could switch sides of the screen entirely). Attack buttons can move in relation to the thumb pad as well. So if the control pad moves to the right, the attack button moves to the left side of the device. And you can also keep buttons lined up vertically with the control pad as well.

This video shows the playback of the Fantastic Worlds iOS Starter Kit with a typical platformer / side scrolling level. You'll see moving platforms, objects to collect, required keys, enemies throwing objects, inventory and physics based objects falling down

This video shows the playback of the Fantastic Worlds iOS Starter Kit with a top-down perspective and more of a typical RPG, maze-style level. Enemies will throw fireballs in the direction of the character, and you will also see the addition of a second team member. Tapping with two fingers is done at one point to swap the follower with the leader, as the character in the front position. After the video, you will see the level as it appears in Tiled with some explanation of how that works.

This video will step you through the five levels of a Kids App Demo project (included with your purchase). This will demonstrate how different levels can support view changes (from side scrolling to top down to isometric), by changing which characters are used on per-level basis. You'll also see how weapons can be used beyond just damaging objects, for example collecting things (or passing through them if you choose). You will see how different levels can include onscreen buttons used to jump / attack or move around. You will see how collectibles can be required to open portals and much more.

Just a quick idea, you can make objects that kill the character on contact, but are affected by physics and could be pushed out of the way. So a heavy object, like a rock, could be thrown at the object and move it.

Make jumps a bit harder by adding an obstacle at the foot of where the character will jump to. Time the jump wrong, and your character is in trouble.

This video expands on the idea of weighing down platforms (or anything) and using a rock or other projectile to push it out of the way. This video will setup a situation in a level where its necessary to do this to open up a portion of the board thats otherwise unreachable.

In this video we'll look at using only particles as a weapon and how simple changes to the Sprite Kit Particle File can change the look of the projectile.

In this video we will discuss adding laser obstacles to the Fantastic Worlds iOS Starter Kit. We will build two different laser firing units, one with a laser beam that stays in a constant position, and another that shoots out a small laser projectile.

Switches were added to the starter kit as a secondary means of opening locked portals. Previously a locked portal required an inventory item. Now you can use "switches". Which don't necessary have to look like a traditional lever switch (like in the example video). You can use any two images that appear to toggle from one state to another to indicate to the player they have activated something. Portals can listen for any number of switches to be pulled before unlocking.

This video shows the properties for time-based unlocking / breaking of objects. For example, characters can now stand in front of chest for a certain amount of time before it unlocks. Or platforms can suddenly break after standing on them for a while.You can also break open objects when a specific item is in inventory.

This video shows how to create spring platforms / objects that boast the character in a particular vector (direction). You can always adjust the bounciness (restitution) of any object, but the SpringVector property adds more control to the exact direction.

This video always shows how to create ghostly bad guys that fade from a start alpha value to end alpha value and reverse again. "Ghost" objects can also be impenetrable during their more transparent state.
