Hi all. Amateur Mac Game Developer here.
Today I finally got around to doing a bit more on my "top secret" rpg game engine. All that I've managed to do to it so far is finish the in-game design aspect. I'm using Xcode 1.1 which I'm assuming is still the most up to date version. So I'm happy with my MainMenu.nib file. It's got 5 custom views and 6 buttons. Oh before any mods or whatever are wondering, this does have a programming relevance somewhere. I just haven't got to it yet. I think that I set it up as a Cocoa Application, which is what I want, although I might have also started it as a Cocoa Java App, which I don't want since I'm finished with Java. Can I comfirm that I did the right thing somehow? I gave it (Java) my best shot but I can't handle it. Too confusing especially on Mac OS X IMO. So onto my question. I want to set up one of the custom views to be the game window where all the action happens. Similar to what you would see when you're playing Zelda-A Link to the Past on the SNES ,say. I see that SDL is the way to go so help would be appreciated for helping me set up a custom view to do this. Assume that I'm a complete newbie if you feel like it.
Thanks in advance.
