@aweng8892: If it was developed using cocos2d, then announce it on the cocos2d games subforum

hi riq,
i was wondering. I've developed my first iphone game. CHICK & FOX - Simple tilt game. Can i advertise my game here? Or maybe put in the game listing that you have. Its hit the apps store a few days ago. please and thank you :)
And its FREE..

Are we going to update links in this post? They seem to be broken; a lot of things around here seem to be broken. A beginners nightmare.

We should have a "bump" rule for threads:

Bumping/pushing a thread is only every 2 days allowed. People who break the rules in their thread will be tagged as spam. (The thread will be tagged as spam, mayby there should be some warning before tagging it as spam)
Indirect bumping is included like:

"Ops I forgot to say I'm using a mac" etc.

I often see that people bump their threads after 30 mins!

PS: Just a suggestion.

Here's an additional link that relates to many of the problems people post here:

http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/MemoryMgmt

Reading and understanding that should be Objective-C 101.

@Itomi I've PM'd you

Hi
I am new in the forum, I created a new topic, but when I Send the Post it does not publishes my text.
May some one tell me how I can post my question?

Thanks

Possibly because someone has marked you account as 'On probation'

Why is it that when I post in a thread, it doesn't reflect any change? It's not on top and saying last poster and freshness. I'm talking about this thread.

Anyone having an issue linking to a particular thread when logged in try the following;

1. Grab a copy of the link in question.
2. Log out
3. Try the link
4. Log back in again.
5. Cross fingers, it may be fixed.

above worked for @kalx, I don't have any broken links at the moment to try.

I created a new thread in the Games category but couldn't edit it right after posting. Keeps taking me to the main page. I thought the forum would support the img height and width tags but it didn't and I wanted to edit that. I also forgot to include the itunes link.

I tried to reply to thread but it says the thread is closed. Anyway I can get around this?

Thanks,
kalx

@rrichar under latest discussions, you can click new thread.

how do I make a new thread ?

@sagar You're not going to get any replies in this post (though you may get some comments)

1) Go to the Forums section athe the bottom of this page http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/
2) Select 'cocos2d (graphics engine) – General questions regarding cocos2d'
3) Click 'Topic — Add New »'
4) Give your post a meaningful description.

It will then get seen in the main body of the forum :)

Hello All,

In our game its unlimited level. Its working very well in Simulator and iphone 3GS, but when it runs in
itouch or iphone 2gs. Game get crashes after 30 to 35 level and The error it crashes with is this:

Program received signal: “0”.
warning: check_safe_call: could not restore current frame.

I releases all object memory.
Is any differnce between itouch and iphone 3GS?
PlZ give me solution as early as possible.

Thanks in Advance.

@sagar: wrong thread, wrong forum. Please, post it in the CocosDenshion subforum.

Hi!

I have some issue in SoundEngineManager.
In my game when receiving a call, and we reject our call and returning to the game, any music and sound effect won't play.In applicationWillResignActive function i stop/pause sounds. and after that in applicationWillBecomeActive function we play sound.
but it is not working.

Plz help!

Just spent a pretty frustrating 15 minutes trying to find a post on the forum that I knew existed! When posting please carefully consider the title and tags.

For instance the following post titled;

How to know if the app its running on iphone or itouch?
http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/topic/3638#post-21994

Has the tags;

* auto
* device
* orientation
* rotation

Where;

* platform
* os
* device
* model
* iPhone
* iPod

Would probably make more sense. I'm not picking on this post in particular, it has a title that makes sense and isn't 'How do I write a game'.

@abitofcode pointed me here from the "Cookbook Thread" so I obviously didn't read this first. I apologize for that - my own stupid mistake.

Comment on using the tests as documentation. Now that I see how to run them easier and can play with them, they are great. However, I would definitely add in some comments and "play by play" if you are going to point people to them as documentation. But thanks for the tests... I really appreciate them now that I know they are there. :)

I suggest we change this topic to 'Nothing to see here, Do NOT READ' or 'Apple announces Flash player for iPhone' ;)

@Dakiu - In order to get the test to work you have to open cocos2d-iphone.xcodeproj inside the folder where you downloaded cocos2d (ie. /users/dakiu/Downloads/cocos2d-iphone-0.8.2 ) and you will be able to pull down the test. As long as you have the Active Target and Active Executable on the tool bar you should be good to go. When i first install i had the same issue because it wasn't very clear that I was to open the actual template instead of creating a new project and trying to get the test from the drop down box. Hope this helps.

template instructions should be in the readme that comes with cocos2d!

i made all the steps

1.- Open the cocos2d xcode project
2.- Click: Xcode → View → Customize toolbar
3.-Then, drag Active Target and Active Executable to your top project tool bar.
4.- Select the test you want to view in both drop downs and hit Build and Go

And don't appear the examples :S, only the executable of my project (not even the cocos executable), can you be a little more specific??

I assume that in the Cocos2d Folder when you added to a project it contains these examples.

Other thing, maybe should be something good include the explanation of how install the TEMPLAte..

thnx

here's another interesting link for those wanting to ask questions:

http://whathaveyoutried.com/

@codemattic: thanks.

OK - I updated the "How to ask questions" section. Feel free to edit/delete any of it.

@codemattic; yes, good idea.. Could you edit the message ? If you don't have permissions, please, let me know.

Maybe we should add that if you have errors - make sure to post what those errors are, dont just say "I have errors." Open Run->Console to see whats going on for run-time errors.

Also maybe explain how to do a backtrace.

There's 2 other ways of finding example code that I think alot of people new to XCode might miss, those being:

• You can easily search all the files in the current project by going to the following dialog in XCode:
  "Edit | Find | Find In Project"

  For example, if you wanted to find examples of how "GetFixtureList()" is used in Box2d, just go to the above dialog, type in "GetFixtureList()", do a search, and there's an example. This of course works great with the default cocos project, or any project based on one of the cocos templates.

• You can easily search the current development version of Cocos by going here:
  Search all cocos source code in Subversion

  Just type what you want to search for in the search field beside "Search Trunk", and then click "Search Trunk". The bonus for this type of search is that you can copy the link out of the address bar, and put it in forum posts so people can see the code you're referring to!
