walkthrough - iPhone App Tutorial/Help Screen UI -
what best way create tutorial or screens can viewed in iphone app on launch?
i'm debating between using 2 paradigms:
- edit screenshot of app image editing program add static text. interaction tapping or scrolling through tips. involves creating custom uiviewcontroller advance next screen.
- create custom iphone uicontrol on top of app user interface can tapped advance next tutorial tip. application transition between modes , active, rather static. involves adding hooks app's custom viewcontroller's handle "tutorialuicontrol" objects.
here's screenshots of application need make screen ui for, it's application creates artwork. more app information
screenshot 1: view mode allows viewers scroll through image list, uiimagepicker, custom image collections.
screenshot 2: action mode - allows viewers select images save "my saved" album active art generation album "my evolution" or evolve images using sexual/asexual image reproduction.
the "right" answer depends on application designing. highly suggest getting many apps can , looking @ how help. see works , doesn't , think how related own design.
in app (a game) chose build set of static images scrolled through provide detailed (based on apple's sample code). but, built interactive tutorial plays first time run game. pop welcome overlay first time app run , suggest button press start game.
it helps if test tutorial lot of different people. after several designs things complex, boiled down instructions extremely simple: "press green buttons", , built there.
you can store preference whether app has been launched before, , if entry blank run tutorial again.
