[QUOTE="Fast Learner, post: 5373583, member: 649"] It's a very straightforward app, though there are some tricky bits you'll have to deal with. First, let me heartily recommend the book [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Head-First-iPhone-Development-Applications/dp/0596803540/]Head First iPhone Development[/ame]. I think it's by far the best introduction and it will teach you everything you'll need to write this app. First, there are no checkboxes in iOS. You'll either use the On/Off switch (called a UISwitch) or, probably better, a UITableView where you'll toggle the on/off state and show a checkmark next to the On ones. The other slightly tricky thing will be dealing with the keyboard appearing and disappearing, but the book explains it well. I think the app needs one thing you haven't specified, which is saving the app state between times it's run. One nicety that wouldn't complicate it much would be the ability to save more than one character state, basically tapping a settings button to pick from characters or create a new one and choose a name. Anyway, it's a one-afternoon app for someone with experience, but will likely take you some weeks or months, depending on how much spare time you have to work through the book. Still, it's a great first app, you're on the right track. [/QUOTE]
