The iOS game

Devour this devilishly difficult diversion.

This game takes place in the future where man has left the planet and only pizza remains!

Help this 7-slice plain pizza pie indulge in incoming pepperoni pieces.

You will become immortal (in real life) if you reach level 100.

Development

Requirements

• Xcode 15.0+

• iOS 15.0+

• Swift 5.9+

Building

This project uses modern iOS development practices and can be built using Xcode or the command line:

xcodebuild -project "Pizza Man.xcodeproj" -scheme "Pizza Man" -configuration Debug -destination "platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 15,OS=latest" build

Continuous integration

The project includes GitHub Actions CI that automatically builds and tests the app on every push and pull request.

Releasing a new version

The release process uses fastlane.

One-time setup

1. Install Ruby via rbenv (macOS system Ruby is too old for fastlane):

   brew install rbenv ruby-build
   rbenv init # follow the printed shell setup instructions, then restart your shell
   rbenv install   # installs the version from .ruby-version
   bundle install
   

2. Create fastlane/api_key.json:

   {
     "key_id": "ABCD123456",
     "issuer_id": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000",
     "key_filepath": "/absolute/path/to/AuthKey_ABCD123456.p8"
   }
   

The pipeline has five stages.

  bump_version --> b["beta (TestFlight)"] --> screenshots --> upload_screenshots --> r["release (App Store)"]

Execute the end-to-end flow with the combined command:

bundle exec fastlane full_release notes:"Update game center"

Or run individual stages:

1. Bump the marketing version (CFBundleShortVersionString) and build number:

   bundle exec fastlane bump_version           # patch (default): 4.0.1 → 4.0.2
   bundle exec fastlane bump_version bump:minor
   bundle exec fastlane bump_version bump:major
   

   Then update app_version in fastlane/Deliverfile to match the new version. Commit the version bump.

2. Build, sign, and ship to TestFlight. This bumps the build number, archives, exports, and uploads:

   bundle exec fastlane beta
   

   Test the build on a real device via TestFlight.

3. Capture screenshots when needed. The lane supports quick testing of one locale or device:

   bundle exec fastlane screenshots
   bundle exec fastlane screenshots locales:en-US devices:"iPhone 16 Pro"
   

4. Upload screenshots separately from submission:

   bundle exec fastlane upload_screenshots
   

5. Submit to the App Store. The release lane is submit-only:

   bundle exec fastlane release notes:"Update game center"
   

:information_source: If a beta upload fails because the build number is behind App Store Connect, set the project build number once to remote highest + 1, commit, rerun, then continue local increments.

:information_source: The before_all hook in fastlane/Fastfile strips /opt/homebrew and /usr/local from PATH before xcodebuild -exportArchive runs. Without this, Xcode 26's IPA packaging step fails with Copy failed because /usr/bin/rsync (openrsync 2.6.9) and Homebrew's rsync 3.x interpret the -E flag differently. Sanitizing PATH ensures both ends use openrsync.

The app is named because the hero (at center) is a pizza. The things that he is eating are pepperoni.
