Problems with rendering using NSOpenGLView

[wyrmmage]

I've been trying to create "pong", but I'm having trouble displaying it :\

The source code is raher long, but I'd be glad if you could perhaps help me out with it :) It's at http://www.ghettointeractions.com/mac/ if you want to download it (in zipped version) or I can post it hear if you fear a virus ;)

Thanks,

It crashes for me immediatly on launch. At first glance, you've added a bunch of code to main().

With Cocoa, you really shouldn't do that. You should instantiate your game controller as part of the NIB.

For something as simple as Pong, I would actually suggest you forget about OpenGL, and try to follow the Cocoa examples and tutorials, and draw it all in 2D. Once that works, you can re-implement the rendering in OpenGL.

Cocoa and OpenGL are two very big subjects, and attempting to begin them both at the same time will lead to unnecessary frustration.

Hahaha a virus! :lol:

you dont want to be editing main.m, ever.
All your key handling should be in Lesson02View.

hmmm....not quite sure how to instantiate using NIBS; I really haven't had much experience with this sort of thing. I'd prefer to use OpenGL because I one day (perhaps in three or four months) I hope to make something 3D, and I'd rather just go ahead and get the problems with using Cocoa and OpenGL over with.
How am I going to handle my key presses in Lesson02View? Just copy that part of the code from Lesson02Controller?
In the meantime I'll be reading up on NIBS ;)
Thanks for the help,
