Problems with variables in Obj-C
Post: #16
I guess that would be it. I assumed he would be putting it directly nextTileNum, but I should have figured that since he's new, he probably won't think of things like that.

Wow, major changes. Everything now runs great with no errors, though there are still plenty of things to clean up and probably a few remaining memory leaks. I split the variable and object initializations to the header file and supplied init and dealloc routines. I also enabled it to use full coordinates and paint the entire view with tiles from 'mapl'. I'm very satisfied. Thanks for all the help getting me here!
The complete MyView.m file:
![[Image: mygame.jpg]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v332/nowtheworldx/mygame.jpg)
Up next : use an array to keep track of images instead of a switch statement and clean up memory management. Also note that I'm still using substringWithRange: but hey, it works for now. I'll try better alternatives later.
The complete MyView.m file:
Code:
#import "MyView.h"
@implementation MyView
- (id)initWithFrame:(NSRect)frameRect
{
if ((self = [super initWithFrame:frameRect]) != nil) {
// Load tile images from the application's bundle
tile01 = [[NSImage imageNamed:@"T01"] retain];
tile02 = [[NSImage imageNamed:@"T02"] retain];
tile03 = [[NSImage imageNamed:@"T03"] retain];
// Actual map data (background tiles)
mapl = @"211111111112211111311112211113111112211111111112211111111112211111311112211113111112211111111112211111111312222222222222";
}
return self;
}
- (void)drawRect:(NSRect)rect
{
// Start drawing from (0,0)
drawX = 0;
drawY = 0;
// Set the bounds of the view
bounds = [self bounds];
// Set the background color to black
[[NSColor blackColor] set];
[NSBezierPath fillRect:bounds];
// Draw the tiles in mapl
for ( curTile = 0; curTile < [mapl length]; curTile++ ) {
// Capture tile number of current tile in the index (mapl)
nextTile = [mapl substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(curTile,1)];
nextTileNum = [nextTile intValue];
// Move to the next row of tiles (Y) when all tiles
// in the current row have been drawn
if (drawX == 12)
[self shiftDrawingRow];
// Draw the tile that corresponds to the current coordinate
switch (nextTileNum) {
case 1:
tilePoint.x = (drawX * 16);
tilePoint.y = (144 - (drawY * 16));
[tile01 dissolveToPoint:tilePoint fraction:1.0];
break;
case 2:
tilePoint.x = (drawX * 16);
tilePoint.y = (144 - (drawY * 16));
[tile02 dissolveToPoint:tilePoint fraction:1.0];
break;
case 3:
tilePoint.x = (drawX * 16);
tilePoint.y = (144 - (drawY * 16));
[tile03 dissolveToPoint:tilePoint fraction:1.0];
break;
}
// Increment X value by one for next tile
drawX++;
}
}
-(void) shiftDrawingRow
{
// Start drawing the next row of tiles
drawX = 0;
drawY++;
}
-(void) dealloc
{
[tile01 release];
[tile02 release];
[tile03 release];
[nextTile release];
[super dealloc];
}
@endUp next : use an array to keep track of images instead of a switch statement and clean up memory management. Also note that I'm still using substringWithRange: but hey, it works for now. I'll try better alternatives later.
