Questions regarding iphone game designing.

Hi Friends,

I am working on my very 1st iPhone game and developer asked me to provide graphics compatible with Cocas2d-x and Unity framework. I am bit confused here in what format i should provide him all of the graphics. As currently i am working in Photoshop and client approved couple of things like main character and background pattern ( http://dexign-oxigen.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d5pxis6 ).


Please can some body help me with few questions i have in my mind regarding game design.


Question 01: For Cocas2d-x and Unity framework in which software and in what format should i generate graphics.

Question 02: In which software game designers usually design and animate graphics.

Question 03: In which file format they provide animated files to game Developers.

Question 04: What is the best resolution for iphone and android games graphics.

Question 05: what is the role of Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and flash in game designing?

Question 06: what is the role of 3D software like after effect, Maya, Studio max etc.. in game design and development?


Also if you guys can recommend me any ebook, tutorial or any article regarding smart phone game design that would be a great help from you.


Thanks alot
