I'm using some open source code to launch a game. The game is old, around 11 yrs. It is a tick based web based game. It's written in PHP and using MySQL. Basically I want to port this game to iOS, instead of using uiwebview I want to build native controls.
I know that it's bad practice to communicate directly with MySQL from an iOS app. So what I want to do is add a RESTful API. I'm new to this and have scoured Google for answers, does anyone have any pointers of where to start when adding an API to an existing site? It's quite a complex structure.
