How To Create A Game On A Mac

In 2014, Apple CEO Tim Cook proudly announced that over 130 million people joined the ranks of iOS users that year.

However, should you wish to create a finished test game as a.dmg file, or a finished game for distribution through the Mac App Store, you will need to follow the steps outlined below. Before beginning to work with the Mac module with GameMaker:Studio, you must be a registered Apple developer and have the necessary certificates up to date, as. On the Mac, there are a wealth of options for Font Design, probably because the Mac was the home of DTP and digital font design for a long while. The current industry standard is FontLab Studio who also sell the previous king of font creation software Fontographer. Before you can use your Mac, you obviously have to start it up. Here’s the simple way to start up your Mac — the way you’ll probably do it 99 percent of the time: Press the power button. Depending on the type of Mac you have, the power button might be in back (Mac Mini and some iMacs), front (Mac Pro and some iMacs), or above the keyboard.

This figure is primarily made up of iPhone users, which accounts for nearly 25% of the population in the United States, according to the NPD Group. You can think of this as 25% of the people in your city or town, or a quarter of your potential customers. And without an Apple app, you’re not reaching those customers.

But maybe you want to join the mobile revolution and create an app for your business, but you just don’t know how. Well if that’s the case, Como’s got your back!

Creating an Apple app is essential to the success of your business

By creating an Apple app, you’re not only tapping into a pool of millions of potential customers, you’re also guaranteeing that your business won’t get left in the dust. An app lets you compete not only with other small businesses, but with industry giants. Still, this is just one reason to make an iPhone app, while there are plenty of others:

Want to enable customers to easily make orders, reservations, locate your business, and read reviews?

Want to lure customers with holiday coupons, a loyalty card, and enticing push notifications that appear directly on their iPhones or iPads?

Want to increase sales by letting your mobile customers purchase your products instantly, at any time of the day, without having to step foot in your store?

If you do, then it sounds like it’s time you considered creating an Apple app.

And if you create your app with Como, you’ll reach customers on iPhone, iPad, and Android too because your app is compatible with both Apple & Android devices. Read about the benefits of having an Android-compatible app.

Wait, isn’t building an app hard?

You probably think that building an app is hard. And the truth is, it was. Years ago, building an app on your own was pretty much impossible to do if you weren’t a talented developer with brilliant design skills, but today you can do it on your own in a snap.

Como’s do-it-yourself (DIY) platform lets you create your app in minutes using content from your existing Facebook page or website, or you can make it from scratch. So if you have a Facebook page or a website, type it in and start building your app.

Still not sure you need an Apple app?

Mobile commerce is on the rise, making up more than $58 billion in 2014.

And remember that a huge chunk of that came from iPhone users—over 79 million people in the United States.

Obviously, having an Apple app won’t mean that you’ll be automatically in the pockets and minds of millions of users, but it does give you the opportunity to stay connected with and keep tabs on your customers and potential customers in your local community who have iPhones.

You can tell those customers about upcoming sales through push notifications, engage them through social media, or simply remind them that they can shop not only at your store in town, but they can shop directly through their phones at home or wherever they may be. Now that sounds like a pretty good reason to have an Apple app.
