Hi all,
I've been working on a game and implementing the physics stuff with chipmunk. All was going fine on the cocos2d part until the integration with chipmunk. A bit of background:
The game is a game with blocks. Levels are defined in a property list, where positions, size of the blocks, gravitational forces, etc., are all defined for each block to be shown in the level.
The problem is with the blocks showing up. I have a method on my BlockLayer class which is part of my game's main scene. Upon creation of the layer, the property list is read, and all the blocks are created. The following method is called to create the blocks:
- (void)createBlock:(Block*)block withAssets:(NSBundle*)assets
{
Sprite* sprite;
switch(block.blockColour)
{
case kBlockColourGreen:
sprite = [Sprite spriteWithFile:[assets pathForResource:@"green" ofType:@"png" inDirectory:@"Blocks"]];
break;
case kBlockColourOrange:
sprite = [Sprite spriteWithFile:[assets pathForResource:@"orange" ofType:@"png" inDirectory:@"Blocks"]];
break;
case kBlockColourRed:
sprite = [Sprite spriteWithFile:[assets pathForResource:@"red" ofType:@"png" inDirectory:@"Blocks"]];
break;
case kBlockColourBlue:
sprite = [Sprite spriteWithFile:[assets pathForResource:@"blue" ofType:@"png" inDirectory:@"Blocks"]];
break;
}
sprite.position = block.bounds.origin;
[self addChild:sprite];
if(block.blockColour == kBlockColourGreen || block.blockColour == kBlockColourRed)
space->gravity = cpvmult(cpv(0, 10), 1000);
cpVect verts[] = {
cpv(-block.bounds.size.width, -block.bounds.size.height),
cpv(-block.bounds.size.width, block.bounds.size.height),
cpv(block.bounds.size.width, block.bounds.size.height),
cpv(block.bounds.size.width, -block.bounds.size.height)
};
cpBody* blockBody = cpBodyNew([block.mass floatValue], INFINITY);
blockBody->p = cpv(block.bounds.origin.x, block.bounds.origin.y);
blockBody->v = cpvzero;
cpSpaceAddBody(space, blockBody);
cpShape* blockShape = cpPolyShapeNew(blockBody, 4, verts, cpvzero);
blockShape->e = 0.9f;
blockShape->u = 0.9f;
blockShape->data = sprite;
cpSpaceAddShape(space, blockShape);
}With the above code, the sprites never show up. However, if I comment out the "cpSpaceAddBody(space, blockBody);" line, the sprites show up.
The position and size of the blocks are stored in the "bounds" property of instances of the Block class, which is a CGRect.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: I should also note, not sure if it's important, but the orientation of the app is landscape left.
