Apple Puts the Pedal to the Metal in Turn-Based iOS Gaming

Apple is informing iOS developers that turn-based gaming is about to get an adrenaline rush in Game Center under iOS 5.

The company has “recently increased the data size for turn-based matches from 4 kb to 64 kb, so you can take the fun to another level with more sophisticated gaming scenarios,” reads the announcement.

In other words, when the next player launches the game, the software will be able to download much more match data from Game Center and continues the match.

To learn more about turn-based matches in Game Center, Apple directs developers (or any other interested party) to a document on the iOS developer library that discusses GKTurnBasedMatch Class Reference.
