Xcode game question.

My teacher made a joke about an app that should be made for iPhone that is like bingo. I would like to make it so I can show it to him. It is like a bingo board, but has definitions of people (guy with a mohawk, Child on a leash, etc.) chose at random from a bank or something. When you click on the words, it goes to the camera, you take a picture of that described, and it puts it in the square. He said that this app would be fun for the NY State Fair. I was wondering what preset (if any) I should choose to make this app. I would also accept ideas on how to make other parts of this app. I have messed around with basic features of Mac and Mobile apps but nothing this intracite or games for that matter.

Ooops, the thread has moved to the right spot. Good luck with your iPhone masterpiece!

  • Game question #2

    First of all, thanks for answering the last question I had. I was hoping someone could also give me some ideas for this food/market system. I know how to make an invisible button but how do I command it to switch frames to the market and then back to the game? I was also wondering how to make the rest of the functions in this game act accordingly. Such as the food depleting and in turn lowering the health, and fluctuating market prices and so on. If you could help by explaining things or suggesting some lessons that would be a great help to me!

    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
                                                                        Such as the food depleting and in turn lowering the health, and fluctuating market prices and so on.
    You can make your movieclips a variable and then change your food number which might represent something in graphic form. To change prices, use a random number, but make it limited to lets say "5-15" currency. Create a range

  • Xcode project questions

    I have just created a new project in xcode.
    Now,I would like to get rid of the files proj_Prefix.pch and projPriv.h , because i don't need them. However, it seems i can't just delete them, because otherwise xcode complains about not finding them.
    In addition, can i get rid of the files projProj.xcconfig and projlTarget.xcconfig ?
    Oh, and one more question: which files of xcode should i put into the SVN repository?
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Gabriel.

    You have to remove the proj_Prefix.pch and projPriv.h files from the project to delete them safely. In the project window, select the files you want to delete and press the Delete key. An alert opens asking you if you want to delete the references to the files or delete the files and references. Deleting the reference removes the file from the project but keeps it on your hard disk. Deleting the file and reference removes the file from the project and your hard disk. Deleting the reference, then moving the file to the Trash is safer than deleting the file and reference because you can recover the file if you find out you need it.
    You can get rid of the xcconfig files. Those are Xcode configuration files that contain build settings. Configuration files are useful if you make a lot of changes to Xcode's default build settings. By putting the changed settings in a configuration file, you don't have to change the settings in Xcode for every project.
    The point of a SVN repository is to track the changes you make to files. Put the files you need to track in the repository. At a minimum, you should put your source code files in the repository. What works for me is to put everything but the project's build folder in the repository. When I create a Xcode project I want to place under version control, I temporarily move the project's build folder. After importing the project into the repository and checking out the project's files, I move the build folder back with the project.

  • Pc games question

    Hey all,
    I'm sure this is a question asked all the time, so please bear with me
    I'm really desiring to invest in a mac of some sort this summer, the only downside to mac at the moment, is that if you like to play games, the far majority are based for PC. Is there some way around through an emulator perhaps to be able to play such games on a mac?
    If yes, is it also possible to network a Mac into a LAN with PCs and play with/against those people on PCs?
    I did a few searches and I found a few devices out, or coming out that seem to suggest that a special network card is needed, but, if anyone knows the details - it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks alot.

    Just install Windows on your Mac via Bootcamp and run the games in Windows.

  • Classic Video Games Question

    Hi all,
    I'm a bit of a video game lover and recently have come across some oldies on the web I used to love. Mostly PC games like Indiana Jones adventure types....
    I'm now 100% Mac, and found a copy on Amazon of one of these games on CD for sale. Question is, will very old mac based games run on my Intel Based iMac?
    If not, does any one know/has heard of any programs or tools to run video games classics?
    thanks

    Hi djkhont,
    As someone who was recently trying to revive my old PC games, try the following utilities:
    DosBOX - An MS-DOS emulator, available free for download for many platforms (including Mac OS X Universal)
    ScummVM - Another free application to run a good chunk of the classic LucasArts games (Monkey Island, Sam & Max, Loom, etc). You mentioned Indiana Jones... don't know which Indiana Jones you found at Amazon, but check the list of supported games, I believe "Last Crusade" is in there.
    As far as playing MacOS 9 (Classic) games on an Intel Mac, I'm afraid it's not possible, as the other posters had mentioned. The Intel Macs do not support the Classic environment.
    (another reason why I will never part with my old iBook...)
    Hope this helps,

  • IPod Games Questions

    I purchased iPod games on my work Mac, Subsequently I had problems where the game refused to play on my iPod and asked me to resync. Unfortunately I was at home and the game is on my work Mac.
    My question is: Is there a way to put this game on to my home Mac so if I need to re-sync at home I can?

    Yes... you should be able to copy your purchased game files to another computer. Assuming I've read your message correctly you've restored your iPod and are now syncing with your iTunes library at home instead of work as previously. It should be possible to manually add the game while at work and then use Jeff's method from the previous post to recover the game to your home computer. If that is not possible there is another way...
    iPod games are stored in the iPod Games subfolder of your iTunes folder (I'm working on a PC here but should hold true for Macs). Copy the ipg file for the game and any associated folder onto some form of transportable media - e.g. the iPod in disk access mode. When you get home drag the file (and optional folder) to the iPod Games subfolder, start iTunes. Drag & drop the ipg file onto the iPod Games section of the library. This should import the game. Open the game's information page in the libray. At this point iTunes should ask you to confirm your account details so that it can authorise your computer to access this game file. It should now be possible to sync the game to your iPod.

  • Xcode newbee question

    Hi I'm new to xcode programming. But I'm starting to build an application for mac using xcode.
    I can get the application to work, but there are several questions that I cannot resolve by myself.
    First of all, how can I make the application to be "Universal Binary"?
    Also, when I use the Interface Builder, I make my own classes, say "MAfoo." And write it out to xcode. But after I write down the class codes and modify them in xcode, whenever I make changes to Interface Builder, how can I change the previous version of codes without overriding the codes that I have written.
    I'm sorry if my question is vague.

    Brian is correct that universal binary is the default for Xcode 3, but make sure you're using the Release build configuration. The Debug build configuration cannot build universal binaries.

    You have to make the changes in Xcode. When you tell Interface Builder to write class files, it overwrites any existing class files.
    A common situation is adding outlets and actions to your classes. What you have to do is open the header file in Xcode (MAfoo.h in your example) and add the outlets and actions. If you have your Xcode project open, the outlets and actions you added in Xcode will appear in Interface Builder.

  • Beginner XCode/Java Question - printf problem

    Hello,
    I have just started playing around with XCode and Java. I entered the statement:
    System.out.printf("%s\n%s\n", "Welcome to", "Java Programming!");
    into the default working java project (File -> New Project -> Java Tool) and Im getting the error "cannot find symbol" after I compiled it. I do not believe this is a syntax error since it was copied straight from a textbook. So, my questions are:
    1. What "symbol" is Xcode refering to?
    2. Does Xcode coem with the latest version of Java?
    3. How can I check the Java version?
    4. Is there a library that needs to be imported to get it working?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Arcus
    I think you might have to change some of the Xcode settings to force it to use Java 1.5. Try this:
    - From the menu, select: Project > Edit Active Target 'Your Program Name'
    - From the popup window, select Settings > Simple View > Java Compiler Settings.
    - Set Target VM Version and Source Version to 1.5
    - Dismiss the window by clicking on the red dot at the top left corner.
    Best wishes

  • Xcode diverse questions.

    Hello, looking to be a app developer, and I have a few questions about Xcode before I bug Apple. Xcode, as I am informed, runs on Panther, (beleive 1.5 does, or could you tell me the most recent one that will run on Panther? I know Panther is ancient, but thats what I'm running now on my old Powerbook, and I don't want to upgrade till I'm sure I'll be doing this. Also, could you tell me the main differeces between Xcode for Snow Leopard and Xcode for Panther? Thanks alot.

    I would like to tell you definitively the most recent version of Xcode that will run on 10.3, but Apple's "All downloads" site for developers is down right now. I think it is 2.2 or maybe 2.5. Regardless, there are extensive changes between the older Xcodes and Xcode4. Plus, the older Xcodes are from before Xcode development really "took off", so you will have a difficult time finding books or documentation. The hardest part is building the user interface with Interface Builder. That has changed several times over the years and when it says "control-drag from X outlet to Y object" you may be lost if you don't have the exact version of Xcode that matches whatever tutorial you are using.
    There is quite a bit of information available for Xcode3, but Xcode4 has now been released and that is another significant change. The differences are primarily platforms and Interface Builder. Older Xcodes only support Mac development for PPC. Xcode3 can build software for iOS, PPC and Intel Macs, and is a pretty good stand-alone IDE. Xcode4 is focused on iOS and Snow Leopard Intel Macs.

  • Xcode starter questions

    So, I am wanting to get into programming with apps. I don't have any experience with programming with this kind of stuff. But my questions are:                             1. Will Xcode work with Mac mini?
    2. I hear that you have to pay a yearly $100 to apple to submit my apps to the App Store. Is this true and what are the likelihood a that I will be able to make enough to pay it plus profit?
    3. Say I do charge for an app or built in feature, how will I receive my profit after apple takes their share?
    4. How easy is Xcode to use? I understand that there is coding and I'm not sure how difficult that would be. I'm willing to learn.
    5. What are the probabilities that I will get sales for charged apps I make?  I know it's hard depending if the app is a hit or not but is like a ballpark estimate.
    Thank you for any answers I'm wanting to look into this before I invest some money on this. If I have more questions ill post them below. Thanks!

  • Some Mac OS X game questions

    I'm trying to create a game for Mac OS X. I want to be able to create a program where you are a spaceship, and you manuever your way through space, and I'll add other features to that, once I have the basics down. I have the following questions.
    1. How do I draw an NSImage in a view? I don't want to use an NSImageView, because I want the image to be able to move around.
    2. What would be the best way to start desinging my game? I haven't even started?
    I might come up with more questions later on. I am really stuck here. I have no idea where to begin.

    I found this method:
    - (void)drawInRect:(NSRect)dstRect fromRect:(NSRect)srcRect operation:(NSCompositingOperation)op fraction:(CGFloat)delta
    I tried this out, but I don't know what NSCompositingOperation I want to use, I don't really understand them, even after looking at the documentation. What would be the best one to use to just make an NSImage appear in a view?

  • [Game]Question[Mutliplayer]

    So I'm working on a multiplayer networked game. So basically you log in with a username and password from the client's log-in GUI. The server checks it against a MySQL DB, and if the credentials are valid, you are logged into the game. The game is mostly that you control this white box with the arrow keys, and you click to shoot. And when two people are logged in, they can move around, dodging the other's bullets, while shooting in return.
    Questions
    How would I update the locations of the players on the screen? Should I just send a data string with the new coordinates of the player to the server, and the server updates it? Will there be lag in doing this method? Are there more efficient ways? If so, what?
    The timing and efficiency of this update is important as this is a time-crucial game.

    "What should the format of my messages be? That is, what should my message protocol look like?"Sending the new coordinates is a reasonable option, and probably the simplest. I would start with that. As for "data string," presumably you'll want to sent the coordinates in their native primitive format, which I suspect is int, rather than as Strings.
    "Should I send the data to the server, and let pass it on to the other client? Or should I send it directly to the other client?"Unless your game will always be played on a LAN, you'll probably have no choice but to have the clients communicate through the server.
    Will there be lag in doing this method? Of course there will. There's a lag in every single operation we do. Quantum action at a distance computers do not yet exist. There is nothing we can do in zero time.
    Are there more efficient ways? That question is meaningless at this stage.

  • Firmware + Games Question

    I was wondering if there was a way to get around the firmware update (1.2) so I can put my games I've bought on my iPod. My iPod gets disconnected when iTunes tries to update my iPod firmware.

    Hi Xb0x3r!
    The 1.2 Firmware update is required for games to be compatible with your Fifth Generation iPod. (no way around it if you want to play games).
    My iPod gets disconnected when iTunes tries to update my iPod firmware.
    Okay, now let's start the troubleshooting.
    First of all, check this possibility:
    1 - Connect your iPod.
    2 - In iTunes, click on your iPod in the left-panel.
    3 - Now, click on the "Music" tab in the upper panel of the right-area of iTunes.
    4 - See if "Enable Disk Use" is check-marked (if you're on "automatic sync" option). If Disk Use isn't enabled, then be sure to check-mark it now, eject your iPod, disconnect it, then reconnect it.
    5 - Now, try updating your iPod again with 1.2 firmware.
    Now here's some questions:
    1. Does your iPod seem to automtically disconnect from your computer just after having a little bit of time of being connected to your computer, or does this "automatic-ejecting" happen only when you start the firmware updating?
    2. Are you getting any error messages when connecting your iPod, or when trying to update your iPod with the latest version?
    3. By any chance do you run the McAffe Disk Scanner, or McAffe firewall/security program? If so, then go to the program, and turn off your internet security and firewall.

  • Xcode debugger question

    How do i setup the debugger in xcode?

    The debugger is already setup in Xcode, do you have a specific question?

  • ApplicationStorageDirectory - Best Practice for Games Question

    So I've been working on a game which uses AIR. My problem is that I have been storing my game assets in the application directory. That would be fine except that the game has a built-in editor which requires the ability to write files. Adobe has since locked the ApplicationDirectory to write access, so now I'm not sure of where I'm expected to store all of my user editable game files - which is potentially ALL game assets.
    The seemingly obvious choice is to use ApplicationStorageDirectory. While not ideal, in that it seems I would need to duplicate all assets from inside the application to the storage directory on startup, it would provide a standard and easy to find place to store editable game assets.
    However, this article (on this site) clearly tells me that I should not do that. It makes a good point. Backing up all of the games assets is messy proposition. And while I can see users who take advantage of the editting capabilities as appreciating the backup, for the average player, that would be a pretty big annoyance.
    So what am I expected to do in this scenario? I need a writable location where the user and the application can easily access all game assets ( XML, Image, MP3 ). I don't want to pick an arbitrary location, and I'm turned off by the application needing to redundantly house the data just to copy to the destination directory since there's no way for me to delete it once it's copied since I can't write to the application folder.
    Thanks for the thoughts.

    Hi,
    A couple things come to mind. It's actually not Adobe that locks the application directory on Windows, that's a MS permissions thing with folders under Program Files.  But either way, it's still a problem. 
    As you mentioned, you could copy files on first launch but depending on the size, this could be annoying after a user just sat through the install.  It's also not very friendly when you want to uninstall.  You might want to consider sub launching the AIR installer from a separate installer which also takes care of installing the game resources to another writable location.  Maybe this is user selectable, but at least it's monitored by the installer which should allow you to uninstall properly.
    Would it be possible to keep the resources with your app, but architect the editor such that only user created content would go in a user writable directory (such as a subdirectory off of their documents folder?)
