google for cocos2d.
in addition, you can make REALLY simple games with xCode and UKit only. Lets say memory, or a card game or so.
in both cases, you first need to learn xCode and iPhone SDK. There are some books around, grab one and do the tutorials until you think you know about viewcontrollers and UIViews and all the other basics. Then go to something that intrests you like play videos or music, use the web, whatever.
then get a speciallised book. For cocos2d there are some on Amazon. Then again do the tutorials. Until you think you know the basics. Then again pick tutorials of your interest. Like physics related ones, or whatever.
In the meantime get an Apple Developer account. Whithout, you anyways cant do to much. When you have it, look for the WWDC 2010 and 2011 videos. There are some really interesting ones about games, grafics, animation.
Then start your game project.
Thats it. Will take you at least 3 month.
You can also make simple games with plugin software, like The Active Reader. Our tool was originally designed to make interactive books, but there are currently some simple to intermediate games in development that look great using it. There is no programming required.
Contact me if you’d like to know more!
If you have no programming experience and your idea is very small, give GameSalad a shot. It’s free and requires zero coding, plus is purely 2D.
If you are willing to do more coding then you can give Cosco2D.
Unity is a bit more advanced, but also packs a lot more power.
