Tutorial 4 is now available. This tutorial comes in at around 1:40 and covers both the creation of a new class called AngelCodeFont, but also changes to the Image and SpriteSheet classes. The changes to the Image and SpriteSheet classes was necessary so that I could make use of vertex arrays which significantly improves the performance on the iPhone. The AngelCodeFont class allows you to specify an image and control file which has been created using an AngelCode bitmap font tool and then render any string you like to the screen.
