Ray Wenderlich has just released an excellent tutorial on how to create a side scrolling space shooter with Cocos2D.
In the tutorial you’ll learn how to set up Cocos2D, add in the game resources, create an accelerometer controlled player ship, a scrolling background, collisions, sound effects, and more.
