iOS Question Creating a small game

very nice game. i like the concept.

for such a game you won't need any special libraries. i would do it just with a canvas and types objects. this is similar to a game i did some time ago (Tiny Puzzle) or this one that is more complex (Power Blocks)
the concept is the same. you puzzle parts and a puzzle board and you drag the parts to the board.

it's more simple than it looks. all your parts are basically even rectangles. small rectangles that in specific combination create a shape. when you drag the shape you need ON THE RELEASE PART event to check if the grid rectangles are empty and you can put the shape in that place then you check if a line is completed or any other function you decide.

have you made any games already? you will need some basic understanding to create such a game.

This is why I wanted to look at this type of game to learn the basics of creating a small game.

This is the part I don't really know how to do. I can't work out how to detect if a square has been used or not based on the shape of the object.

start with this example
