Hello!

Have any of you tried to implement the scoreloop SDK? Yesterday i tried, but i ran into some problems.

The demo comes with 2 examples with very different implementatio code, i tried both ways but failed :(

The most i could do was to make the scoreloop button appear and according to the documentation, by touching that button, the API should appear, instead i get nothing to show up.

I posted this here because maybe there is some issue while using cocos2d AND this SDK.

So, has anyone else tried it?

I have successfully integrated Scoreloop.

What exactly SDK do you have (build)?

What have you tried? code

And exactly what fails?

Which cocos2d release you have? I done this with 0.7.2

For me there is no issue with Scoreloop and cocos2d

hi!

I am using the latest scoreloop build and cocos2d o.8

The last problem i had was that the scoreloop button was not opening the api...

Were you able to run the crashlanding app without any problems?

I get compiling errores in some parts of the code that uses "tag" like "end:" don't know how those work, but after removing them i compiled but crashed as soon as the background of the space shows up.

I didn't tested the crashlanding, just integrated the needed API calls.

For me cocos2d since 0.7.3 it's buggy or with problems.

As for launching Scoreloop, I'm not using the SL buttom now. I using this:

[[[GeoRainAppDelegate get] scoreloopClient] show:kSLTabOverview];

You must set properly in the AppDelegate this: userDidFinishScoreloop, scoreloopDidShow and whatever needed. Also setting up Scoreloop Client is needed

Well i will give it another try if i don't get any feedback from openfeint today.

Hey coolman, i just tried scoreloop again, i could make it appear but i found something that is wrong, maybe you could tell me if you happened to run into this...

in my delegate i wrote this:

- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {
window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication]
setStatusBarHidden: YES animated:NO];
[window setUserInteractionEnabled:YES];
[window setMultipleTouchEnabled:YES];
[Director useFastDirector];
[[Director sharedDirector] setLandscape: YES];
scoreloopClient = SLClientCreateWithGameAndDelegate(@"xxxx", @"xx", self);
// scoreloopClient.interfaceOrientation=UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft;
[scoreloopClient show:kSLTabOverview];
[[Director sharedDirector] attachInWindow:window];

[[[Director sharedDirector] openGLView] setMultipleTouchEnabled:YES];
[Texture2D setDefaultAlphaPixelFormat:kTexture2DPixelFormat_RGBA8888];

[window makeKeyAndVisible];

SplashScene * ms = [SplashScene node];
//[[Director sharedDirector] setDisplayFPS:YES];

[[Director sharedDirector] runWithScene:[FadeTransition transitionWithDuration:1.2f scene:ms]];
}

when my game launches the api is launched, now... if i go to the "account" tab, i can't press any button inside it... nothing inside there works...

but if i remove the call to:

[[Director sharedDirector] runWithScene:[FadeTransition transitionWithDuration:1.2f scene:ms]];

then scoreloop works perfectly...

The problem comes when calling "runwithscene", if i replace it by push, replacescene it works fine... but i wouldn't now how to make my game work without "runwithscene"...

Does this happen to you?

As you may notice it is the same issue i run into when using openfeint...
What could this be?

Ohh i found something else, if i use normal director it does work :O

i think it has to do with this...

FastDirector has this: and normal director does not...

- (void) startAnimation
{
// XXX:
// XXX: release autorelease objects created
// XXX: between "use fast director" and "runWithScene"
// XXX:
[autoreleasePool release];
autoreleasePool = nil;

}

So any ideas on how would i do this using fastdirector??

I tried creating the scoreloopclient BEFORE calling use fastdirector, but the error remains...

Hey may i ask you another question?

How would i reach the scoreloopclient object from an scene?

i am declaring in the appdelegate's interface: id<SLClient> scoreloopClient;

and in the implementation:

scoreloopClient = SLClientCreateWithGameAndDelegate(@"aaa",@"bbb",self);

and i would like to access it as you wrote before from let's say my menu scene:

[[[GeoRainAppDelegate get] scoreloopClient] show:kSLTabOverview];

Could you tell me how to do this?

Sure,

In my GeoRainAppDelegate.h I have:

+(GeoRainAppDelegate *) get;

And in my GeoRainAppDelegate.m:
```
+(GeoRainAppDelegate *) get {

	return (GeoRainAppDelegate *) [[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
}
```

Well! Finally! I have been able to lauch it and interact with it... But i don't know if what i am doing is the right way and if it could bring problems later...

To be able to interact with scoreloop using fastdirector this is what i do:

- (void) userDidCancelScoreloop:(id<SLClient>) aClient;
{
[[Director sharedDirector] startAnimation];
[[Director sharedDirector] resume];
}

- (void) userDidFinishScoreloop:(id<SLClient>) aClient usingContext:(NSDictionary*) aContext;
{
[[Director sharedDirector] startAnimation];
[[Director sharedDirector] resume];
}

- (void) scoreloopDidShow:(id<SLClient>) aClient
{
NSLog(@"alg");

[[Director sharedDirector] pause];
[[Director sharedDirector] stopAnimation];
}

When the api launches, director's isRunning must be set to NO...

For the time being everything is ok...

So one more thing (i promise :P):

How are you using scoreloop?
I mean, do you have a button in your main menu for the player to launch it?
Do you launch it when the player loses(or get's the opportunity to post his score)?
Do you also store scores locally?

I will have to buy your game to see it :P

Many thanks

>So one more thing (i promise :P):

:-) Ask what you like.

I have a screen called Scoring with the list of the local scores (yes, I also store them), and a custom buttom (I'm not using the default Scoreloop buttom for launching Scoreloop.

Every time a player finishes a level you must call to gameDidEndWithScoreResult

> will have to buy your game to see it :P

Yo should it only will cost a buck :-)))

I have decided not to use it for the time being... I am getting random EXEC_BAD_ACCESS because of the director stopanimation & startanimation it seems...

will give it a try at another time, wheni have a little more experience :)

Thank you so much for answering my questions :)

Hope i can try your game soon ;)

Oh, ok.

What do you have in your game that the normal director can't run properly?

I am using chipmunk, there are 30 or so shapes, like 10 joints at a given time...

Also... you may have seen i opened another thread disscussing some framerate issues... Well if i use normal director it gets worse... maybe when (if) i solve that i may try again using normal director...

30 is not too much for Chipmunk & cocos2d, wierd.
