Seems like I am not the only fan of him as his music was used by Riq for its Cocos2D video on YouTube :) <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNYbYcIqlxM" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNYbYcIqlxM</a> For all who do not know Huelsbeck (shame on you), he wrote the music for games like Turrican, R-Type, Great Giana Sister, Apydia,... If you do not know these, too: Shame on you again :) Or you are just too young. About our game: ZombieSmash! is a Castle Defend game, but it will be much different to all other games of this style. Actually we started the game as a port of Defend your Castle, but we changed the gameplay soon, as we thought it does not really fit to the iPhone. Ok stickwars showed that it does fit (and sells :)). Here is some concept art: <img src="http://zombiesmash.gamedrs.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/interface02.jpg" /> Find more infos on our <a href="http://zombiesmash.gamedrs.com">Blog</a> or follow us on <a href="http://twitter.com/zombiesmash">Twitter</a>.

There is a download section to get new levels, once I get new ones! (working on a couple of new levels it right now) I have used cocos2d for the menus, and to render the layers and sprites, got some performance issues at some point, but so far is working fine, I think. I didn't use the isometric tiling support on last version of cocos2d as I started working on this like a year ago, can't remember, it feels a while now! I got stuck in version 0.8.2 and didn't have time to migrate to 0.9, to be honest I may need to implement from scratch the rendering routines, as implementing 2D sprites in isometric is such a pain! So I am thinking in some ray-casting or something at the pixel, lot of works I guess... And also, some promo codes, I have already gave away a few, so until I get a new update, here you go 7 of them: 9P9TAR94E99P XW3MEYXTLM64 6KAMHJJEMR4P PLLWYXHY7EM3 L9L9AM9XNATF ETFY4KHAPJXF EFYXPLTFPEM9 Please have mercy with me on your ratings! ;) Any troubles let me know and will try to help.

My idea of implementing this was to create a CCRenderTexture of the same size and draw to it. My problem is that the FPS drops to 15 just by adding the render texture to a fresh Cocos2d project template! My questions are: A. How do I improve the performace? Is there a better approach to this application? B. What is the best way to have the user scroll the drawing surface using finger gestures? For those of you who want to replicate the problem, here is exactly what to do: 1- Create a new XCode project from the cocos2d-0.99-rc template. 2- In AppDelegate.m, replace: <pre><code>[[CCDirector sharedDirector] attachInView:window];</code></pre> with: <pre><code>[[CCDirector sharedDirector] attachInView:window withFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 1024, 1024)];</code></pre> 3- In HelloWorldScene.m, replace +(id)scene with: <pre><code>+(id) scene { // 'scene' is an autorelease object. CCScene *scene = [CCScene node]; // 'layer' is an autorelease object. HelloWorld *layer = [HelloWorld node]; CCRenderTexture *renderTexture = [CCRenderTexture renderTextureWithWidth:1024 height:1024]; [renderTexture setPosition:ccp(512, 512)]; [layer addChild:renderTexture z:0]; // add layer as a child to scene [scene addChild: layer]; // return the scene return scene; }</code></pre> dogbreath on "CCLOG/COCOS2D_DEBUG" http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/topic/5110#post-30543 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 19:10:01 +0000 dogbreath 30543@http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/ Hello, I'm trying to turn of the debugger for cocos and I'm still getting logs printed to the Console.

I make a custom class from CCSprite and have it do an action when it is touched. It should create another sprite and display it to the screen. While I can make the new sprite, how do I reference the Scene and add the new sprite to it? I stated with the basic Hello World program, so there is still only the Hello World Scene, no others. How do I tell my custom object, "here is the scene, add this new sprite object to it?" Thank for your help! **Edit** Is there also an easy way to have the objects get information about the scene? Like where their position is in the scene? mattiasmak on "Large backgrounds" http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/topic/912#post-5396 Sun, 26 Jul 2009 13:51:31 +0000 mattiasmak 5396@http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/ I've noticed that when removing code for my static background image the framerate goes from ~30fps to over 40fps.

Thanks a lot to Ric and everyone who is contributing to cocos2d-iphone and this forum. Without all the good code, bugfixes, patches, tutorials, code snippets and discussions our game wouldn't be what it is now. THX! I have a few promo codes here for the U.S. appstore so please PM me if you like to have one. Also feel free to ask any questions or give us some feedback! Also a rating or review on iTunes would be terrific. But now to the game.

Everything is fine on the 3GS but on the iPod something seems different with the touch handling. I have a menu item image and if I put one finger on it then tap on it a bunch with another finger while dragging the first finger off the button the menu will become unresponsive, I think a touch never gets the TouchEnded call so then the menu is still waiting for a release. It is not a huge bug as it seems to be fine on the new OS and it takes a seemingly random amount of events to trigger it, but it is still a problem when the game seems to be unresponsive. Has anyone else experienced something similar to this? obrand on "Application teaching children from 3 to 5 years old to recognize and write numbe" http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/topic/4840#post-28833 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 05:35:33 +0000 obrand 28833@http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/ My iPhone application is available for download: AlphaCount.

Thanks Aditya gaminghorror on "iPad: why is CGPoint(0,0) in the bottom center of the screen?" http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/topic/5152#post-30803 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 15:26:00 +0000 gaminghorror 30803@http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/ I just converted the MIX-MAX game (<a href="http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/topic/5116" rel="nofollow">http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/topic/5116</a>) to the iPad and was expecting it to appear in the lower left corner. Instead what happened is that all the images appear on the bottom-right area while the touch areas for buttons etc. are as expected in the lower left area of the screen. It seems as if the (0,0) coordinate on the iPad (for a landscape App) is actually at the bottom center of the screen but only for images. Can anyone confirm this, and can i fix this somehow so that (0,0) is back at where it should be, the lower left corner of the screen? Do i have to update cocos2d? It's still at v0.9.0 alpha for this game. I'll try that in the meantime, hopefully it's painless. reedjsmith on "Success in the App Store" http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/topic/4836#post-28804 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 00:29:16 +0000 reedjsmith 28804@http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/ I know we have discussed this before but is anyone having success on the app store. Some of the games that I buy from this forum are so polished and good but never make any top lists. Just wanted to know if anyone is making anything decent besides the standouts. I just launched my first game "Dotter" and I am planning on not making any money on it, I just love doing it. But the idea of not having to keep a full time job would be nice :) MisterX on "Learning cocos2d with samples" http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/topic/5168#post-30887 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 08:34:19 +0000 MisterX 30887@http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/ I read Riq's blog on the "most unknown coco2ds feature, the tests and samples". As a new user to cocos2d, the instructions he gave were not quite clear to me. 1. Open the cocos2d Xcode project ( I assume this means to create a NEW Xcode project with the regular cocos2D template). 2. Select the test target: Xcode -> Project -> Set Active Target -> eg: TransitionTest (When I try to do this it gives me only two choices, 1 - The name of the new project I created (ex. "Testing1") or 2 - "cocos2D libraries" 3. Make sure that the running executable is correct: Xcode -> Project -> Set Active Executable -> eg: TransitionTest (When I try to set the active executable, the only option is the name of the new project I created (ex. "Testing1") 4. Build and run: Xcode -> Build and run (This I understand, if I could get step 2 and 3 to work) On step 2, if I select "cocos2D libraries" I still can only select the name of my new project from step 3. Following the given instructions above I am not able to select any of the tests for Active Target or Active Executable. Could someone please explain what I need to do or what I am missing so I can build and run these tests? pfg2009 on "[GAME] Doodle Blast!" http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/topic/4717#post-28042 Thu, 25 Feb 2010 21:21:05 +0000 pfg2009 28042@http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/ I've just submitted another stupendously AWESOME game - Doodle Blast! - to iTunes (hopefully available in a couple of days) and I wanted to share a few screen shots with you. Game play video should be coming soon, along with a "making of" blog. I will let you know when those are available. The premise is simple - you are a tank and you shoot everything in your path. There is lots of different guns to collect that stack on top of you and contribute to the general mayhem until they get destroyed.
