Application of augmented reality in iOS game development

U diplomskom radu istražena je proširena stvarnost, mobilne računalne igre, povezanost proširene stvarnosti i mobilnih računalnih igara te trenutno stanje korištenja proširene stvarnosti u mobilnim računalnim igrama. Također, opisani su izazovi i pristupi pri razvoju mobilne računalne igre u proširenoj stvarnosti. Programski ostvarena mobilna iOS računalna igra omogućuje primjenu proširene stvarnosti, stoga korisnici imaju mogućnost igrati poznatu arkadnu igru Snake u proširenoj stvarnosti. Rješenje mobilne računalne igre pisano je prema predlošku arhitekture VIPER, a metodologija izrade oslanjala se na reaktivno i asinkrono programiranje. Također, opisan je utjecaj arhitekture VIPER pri razvoju mobilne računalne igre. Mobilna računalna igra Snake omogućuje korisnicima upravljanje objektima u proširenoj stvarnosti prema pravilima igre, rangiranje igrača prema ostvarenim rezultatima i pohranu rezultata. Ispitivanje rada aplikacije pokazalo je njeno očekivano ponašanje, a iz istraživanja korisničkog iskustva saznaje se da je utjecaj proširene stvarnosti na korisnike pozitivan.The aim of this master's thesis was to explore augmenter reality, mobile games, connection between augmented reality and mobile games, and the current state of using augmented reality in mobile games. Furthermore, this thesis describes challenges and approaches in developing mobile games in augmented reality. The software-realized mobile iOS game enables the application of augmented reality, so users have the ability to play the famous arcade game Snake in augmented reality. The mobile game solution was written according to the VIPER architecture template, and the development methodology was based on reactive and asynchronous programming. Additionally, the thesis describes the influence of the VIPER architecture in the development of a mobile game. The mobile game Snake allows users to manage objects in augmented reality according to the rules of the game, rank players according to the achieved results and store the results. Testing the operation of the application showed its expected behavior, and from the user experience research it was found that the impact of augmented reality on users is positive
