iDiary is a cocos2d-based software framework/base for creating interactive multimedia diaries or ebooks. It runs on the Apple iOS platform and has so far been tested on iPad 1 and 2. The software was created for interactive diaries used in workshops in the Jewish Museum Berlin.
User Maniacdev created a nice video showing some of the features on YouTube: iDiary - iPad Development Library Using Cocos2D For Creating Interactive eBooks
- E-Book look & feel
- built-in 3D page swipe animation
- diverse multimedia objects on the book's pages:
- images and text
- movable objects
- integration of video, audio and animations
- physical objects (using Box2D)
- built-in classes for action & reflex games, quizzes, etc.
- script to generate page graphics and code from a Photoshop PSD file
- fast OpenGL based rendering (done by underlying framework 'Cocos2D')
This software requires XCode to compile and run. The XCode project file can be found under src/iDiary2.xcodeproj. It already contains the sources of the cocos2d-framework of version 1.0.1 and is ready to compile.
The software package contains an "example diary" consisting of 8 pages that show usage cases and how to implement them using the specific classes in idiary. Details on the software architecture are described in the github wiki.
