Arturs Sosins

Arturs Sosins is a developer living with his wife Anna and son Tomass. He has a Master's degree in Computer Science and even though he is working as a developer full time, he still loves coding and shares his knowledge with others in his spare time. In his last years at the university, he started chasing the dream of creating his own mobile games for fun and personal satisfaction in his spare time. After trying out lots of different cross-platform frameworks for mobile game development, he found Gideros SDK in January 2012 and liked it so much that he decided to stick with it when developing his games. In the summer of 2012, he founded a group of like-minded developers/designers who go under the indie label Jenots.com (http://jenots.com/). They released Mashballs (http://jenots.com/mashballs), their first game, in September 2012 and are currently working on a couple of bigger game projects. As there was a lack of learning materials and tutorials for Gideros and writing was one of the his favorite hobbies, he started creating different tutorials on how to accomplish simple things in Gideros. This led him to create his new blog http://appcodingeasy.com. Due to popularity of his tutorials and the support he provided on the Gideros community forum, he became the most active community member. In February 2013, the Gideros team offered him the position in the Gideros developers' team, where he has been working since then, while continuing to work on games in his spare time.

Summary


We have enhanced our game with more stylish controls, such as using swipe gesture on packs and controlling the main game element with a magnetic force created by our own fingers touching the screen. We have also gamified our game with high scores and added tweens and frame animations to juice it up; and let's not forget background music and sounds that we added to complement our game.

Now the game itself is far from finished. But, by now you have learned all the basics that you need to create a game using Gideros. You have also learned about the additions that you can do to improve it visually, acoustically (aurally), and aesthetically.
