   Hi All,
   so im making a game where i was planning to change the background image according to what level its on. I am using the gorillas open source as a rough guide and i setup the config.h and.m files and the have the level in there. My plan is to make a BackgroundLayer and then inside of that put an if that says:

   if level = 1 or 2 display background 1
   else if level = 3 or 4 display background 2

   my problem is how would i import the level property into my background layer file. I tried:

   int level = [[GameConfig get] level];

   but it tells me initializer element is not constant.

   Is this even the best way to do what im planning?

   Thanks

   post your GameConfig -init, -get, and -level methods pls.

   also did you remember to #import "GameConfig.h" in your background layer sources?

   Hey Codemattic,
   Here is the -get method:

   +(DodgeballConfig *) get {
   static DodgeballConfig *instance;
   if(!instance)
   instance = [[dodgeballConfig alloc] init];

   return instance;
   }

   Here is the -init method:

   -(id) init {
   if(!(self = [super init]))
   return self;
   defaults = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] retain];

   NSArray *difficultyNames = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
   @"Amateur",
   @"Trainee",
   @"Professional",
   @"Master",
   nil];

   NSArray *levelNames = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
   @"BackYard",
   @"School Yard",
   @"Stadium",
   nil];

   NSDictionary *scenes = [Scenes getScenes];
   NSString *defaultSceneName = [Scenes defaultSceneName];
   Scenes *scene = [scenes objectForKey:defaultSceneName];

   [defaults registerDefaults:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
   [Scene defaultSceneName], dScenes,

   [NSNumber numberWithFloat: 0.5f], dTransitionDuration,

   [NSNumber numberWithInteger: 1], dLevel,
   [levelNames retain], dLevelNames,
   [NSNumber numberWithInteger: 3], dLevelNameCount,
   [NSNumber numberWithInteger: 4], dDifficultyNameCount,
   [difficultyNames retain], dDifficultyNames,

   [NSNumber numberWithInteger: 0], dScore,
   [NSMutableDictionary dictionary ], dTopScoreHistory,
   [NSNumber numberWithInteger: 50], dHitScore,

   return self;
   }

   and here is the -level method:

   -(int) level {
   return [defaults integerForKey: dLevel];
   }

   and yes i did remember to import the GameConfig into the background layer

   Thanks
   -Lars
