   Hi,
   we just OpenSource'd one of our games - iLabyrinth http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=380886785&mt=8
   It's on AppStore and making some money so It's not totally crap :) If you new to Cocos2D development you can fork it on github https://github.com/ud7/iLabyrinth

   please respect our rights and don't just fork-compile-submit as new game

   Thank you! I always find it very interesting to see how other people design their games.

   @razvan_b no reason really, just want to share some stuff i have. The game is supper simple so i guess it's good learning material.
   @mrdckx code is pretty old - i learned a lot since then :)

   typedef enum {
   ZeroPathToBottom= 1 << 7,
   ZeroPathToLeft = 1 << 8,
   ZeroPathToTop = 1 << 9,
   ZeroPathToRight = 1 << 10
   } ZeroPath;

   Why do you do that with enums?

   - (BOOL)isBussy {
   return !![self numberOfRunningActions];
   }

   What does !! mean there? Do you do that to avoid writing >0?

   Thanks for sharing, it seems to me a clean and structured code.
   BTW, is the art open source as well? Does this mean I can compile the game and upload t to the App Store without breaking the law?

   You have many ratings and your game is paid. Were you successfully selling the game?

   @Ricardo1980 !! basically is double negative - it makes bool from int

   @Ricardo1980 He's setting bits rather than ints, useful for bit masking

   I am in no way dissing OP, but
   

   return !![self numberOfRunningActions];

   is a good example of bad code.

   Why do it in a weird way, when you can do it in a right way?

    return !![self numberOfRunningActions];

    Is it identical to below?

    return [self numberOfRunningActions] > 0;

    It is bad code, because most would be puzzled to why you have two !!
    It is also bad code, because in theory the compiler could optimize the two !! away, and you wouldn't really know what you ended up with.
    Finally it is bad code, because the number ONE rule of programming is: Dont make it harder than it is.

    Good code is easy to read, so if your intentions are to return if there are any running actions, [self numberOfRunningActions] != 0 would be the best solution.

    @Birkemose I agree that it might be hard to read - changed
