iDiary

Software base for interactive diaries and ebooks for mobile devices

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.

Features

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')

Prerequisites

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.

Usage

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.
