v0.8.2

Hi,

For those who want bleeding edge stuff, trunk (svn repo) contains:

a) Elastic and Bounce Ease actions
b) TurnPage3D action and transition
c) Support for .ttf fonts
d) bug fixes and improvements in Label / BitmapFontAtlas / TMX support

More info:
http://cocos2d-iphone.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/CHANGELOG

a)
Among other things, you can have nice animated menus. Try "MenuTest"
Warning: since Elastic and Bounce are not bijectives functions, you can't apply them on Sequences.

b)
You can have a nice transition. Try "TransitionTest"
Since it is also an action, you can apply it to an sprite,scene,etc.

c)
You can you use your own True Type Font files. Try the "FontTest" test.
Warning: it is expensive to generate them, so if you want 'fast' labels, you should continue to use LabelAtlas or BitmapFontAtlas.

TODO for v0.8.2:
- add chipmunk / box2d templates. Any volunteer in making them?
- bug fixes
- bug fixes
- add some small opportunistic features

Good job!

Since you are wrapping up for 0.8.2 I have a question. I didn't open an issue because I am not sure.

Shouldn't "removeAllTextures" be "removeUnusedTextures" on memory warning in the template ?

Yes, probable 'removeUnusedTextures' is better. could you open an issue ? thanks.

Riq, can you explain a bit what you mean by "Warning: since Elastic and Bounce are not bijectives functions, you can't apply them on Sequences."

What is bijective?

Is there something I can modify to make them work in sequences?

By bijective I mean:

Actually you can use Elastic actions on Sequence, but it might not work as expected. But on some cases it will work Ok.

eg:
move + callfunc + move

Callfunc might be called multiple times and you should be aware of that.

Does this have to do with knowing when the ease has completed? Because it overshoots it's end value then returns and overshoots eventually settling to the end value?

If so, it seems like you could use the time & value to determine if the ease is done or not.

Riq, I don't know anything about google apps, but is it possible to work in any on the cocos live code ?

Edit: sorry, I meant it for another thread.

@CJ: I've not tested a Sequence with Elastic yet, but one of the problems is that InstantActions, specially callbacks, might be triggered more than once.

@ob1: In my local repository I have some changes, but before committing / uploading I need to test them very carefully. It's very different to develop a product (cocos2d) than to develop a service (cocoslive). The service needs much more testing.

Thanks riq. Just wanted to know if there was a way I could provide some enhancements I would like to the service.
