   It sounds like we really really need a contrib dir or similar for cocos2d, so you don't have to keep emailing this out all the time!

   Is the Joystick a singleton? Seems like from a design standpoint it could be even though it does have state? I guess that's a personal design decision.

   I'd like to view the code also ... please email to greg.heidorn <at> gmail <dot> com.

   Thanks!

   No, it's not a singleton, because you can have multiple joysticks on screen and it needs to hold state for each one. I'm going to submit a version of this to the trunk soon under an extra's folder.

   Ok, it's in the trunk under an extra's folder, along with my proximity manager. Hopefully riq doesn't mind as I think these don't belong as core cocos things, but are obviously very useful.

   Thanks for the commit. The proximity manager also seems pretty sweet, I like the simple cache idea as well, could come in useful for a future project were planning.

   Thanks!

   I am getting build errors trying to port my game to the 0.9 alpha release. The last 2 errors are in Joystick.h. from the extra's directory.

   Any help would be appreciated.

   -------

    Hi,

    I'm too an ultra noob and would like a little bit of help implementing the joystick controls. I have got the latest code from the SVN repository for Joystick and have successfully built it. However i'm having problems initialising the Joystick. I have only one joystick in the game to control a Ball. I found some code on a forum relating to this that initialises the mStick like this :

    mStick = [[[Joystick alloc] init:0 y:0 w:320 h:480] retain];

    If I put this in the (id)init{... I get 'mStick' undeclared.

    I'm having trouble as to where I should put this in the code, Should it be in the Ball Layer? and whereabouts in the code.

    The code I used following this to detect touches is in the BallLayer.m code as follows but each of the mStick references give compilation errors 'mstick' undeclared.

    -(bool)ccTouchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
    {
    [mStick touchesBegan:touches withEvent:event];
    return kEventHandled;
    }

    -(bool)ccTouchesMoved:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
    {
    [mStick touchesMoved:touches withEvent:event];
    return kEventHandled;
    }

    -(bool)ccTouchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
    {
    [mStick touchesEnded:touches withEvent:event];
    return kEventHandled;
    }

    Think im finding the transition form Java to XCode harder than anticipated.

    Any help much appreciated.

    Just like Java, you have to declare the type of variable. Therefore, Joystick *mStick = [[[Joystick alloc] init:0 y:0 w:320 h:480] retain]; unless you previously declared Joystick *mStick.

    Hi Thanks, I now get the following warning's when I try to compile.

    mStickLeft = [[[Joystick alloc] init:0 y:0 w:320 h:480] retain]; WARNING - No '-init:y:w:h:' method found

    [layer addChild:mStickLeft z:3]; - WARNING 'Incompatible Objective-C types 'struct Joystick *' expect 'struct CocosNode *' when passing argument 1 of addChild:z' from distinct Objective-C type.

    Can anyone help?

    The functionality of the joystick when using staticCenter was incomplete; the velocity upon initialization was not (0,0) and the joystick did not reset after touchesEnded. To fix this I changed -(void)setStaticCenter to:
    

    -(void)setStaticCenter:(float)x y:(float)y
    {
    	staticCenterPoint = CGPointMake(x, y);
    	center = staticCenterPoint;
    	curPosition = staticCenterPoint;
    	staticCenter = YES;
    }

    And also -(bool)touchesEnded to:
    

    -(bool)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
    {
    	if (!active) return NO;
    	NSArray *allTouches = [touches allObjects];
    	for (UITouch* t in allTouches) {
    		if ((int)t == touchAddress) {
    			active = NO;
    			if (!staticCenter) {
    				center = CGPointMake(0,0);
    				curPosition = CGPointMake(0,0);
    			}
    			else if (staticCenter) {
    				center = staticCenterPoint;
    				curPosition = staticCenterPoint;
    			}
    			return YES;
    		}
    	}
    	return NO;
    }

    Also, must add this in the interface declarations
    CGPoint staticCenterPoint;
