Thanks a lot!

Doing the UIKit popups was very easy. For example, to allow the user to enter their name for the high scores board, I call this function as soon as the puzzle is solved:


-(void) doLeader {

TextAlertView *alert = [[TextAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Post Your High Score" message:@"Enter your name to post your high score." delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:@"OK", nil];
alert.textField.secureTextEntry = NO;
alert.textField.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo;
alert.textField.autocapitalizationType = UITextAutocapitalizationTypeNone;
[alert show];
[alert autorelease];
}


Then I have the alert delegate in the .m file as well:


- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertDialog clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
if(buttonIndex > 0)
{

}
}


I was glad to find I could do regular popups within a cocos2d scene so easily!

That's a nice little time waster. Congrats.
Yes cocos2d is one of the best iPhone commmunity. I read a lot of topic here as well, almost daily.
I'm interested in the way you merged the UIKIT popup with cocos2D. I want to do the same thing right now and I start to look around how to do this.

I have just finished my first app for the iPhone using cocos2d. It was a great experience. I am still pretty new to the entire platform--I just started coding on the Mac about 2 months ago; but cocos2d made it really easy to jump in and be productive quickly.

Here is a link to the demo on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OKNsXuOljo

I would have to say the thing I was most impressed with was the huge community of users who not only are quite skilled but also very generous with their knowledge, including working code examples. Any time I was stuck, I could just jump out to Google and search and get answers. Absolutely unbelievable!

I would love to give back in any way I can, so if you are just starting out and are interested in how I did anything in my game, please feel free to post a question. Thanks!!
