   Hi, I'm looking for some help to start with cocos2d, I think that with a few hours should be enough.
   If somebody can teach me, I pay per hour, I really need help.
   I already read all the books, and tutos that I found.

   Thanks,

   What books did you read and which tutorials did you do?

   I read the Objective C book that have an orange on the front, and did the simple game, bouncing ball, but i wasn-t able to do the hello world, actions and events posted by ricardo
   I understand that the first step is to delete the .xib file and the reference in the info.plist, then i add a class HelloWorld and put the .c and the .h
   and i add the cocos2d folder class . . . and then? i stop

   Well, the book with the orange does not use cocos2d. It's good to have general knowledge about the iphone SDK, but that book won't really help you with cocos2d. Look at the Monocle Studios whitepaper here: http://monoclestudios.com/cocos2d_whitepaper.html. It's very helpful starting out with cocos2d.

   Perhaps you should avoid cocos2d until you have better bearings around the development environment. Have you ever programmed in any language?

   The tutorial in monoclestudios.com just sets the ground so you can compile a project with cocos2d, you should start from there,and in the gameLayer add stuff from the tests and play with it.
   For me the most difficult part was setting the project up, then everything i needed was in the tests and in here ;)

   Languages that i managed: pascal, c, c++, java, php, asp, vb and vbscripts, delphi, and some other, all for windows and linux, never mac. I had work with class diagrams too and patterns. :D

   but here i have some error like request for member isToucheEnabled in something not a structure or union

   and i have another xxxscene.m that doesn't have that problem

    I think you should just grind through it. I would say at least 75% of the people using cocos2d were in the same boat as you at some point, including myself. Read every post even if the subject doesn't seem to apply directly to you at the time. You will still pick up very useful information. The error you mentioned is one I've seen many times. It just means that whatever you are trying to do is not available in the way you are calling it. Won't be the last time you see it. When you run into exact issues, post your code and we can help. I had many times where I started to post my issue and as I tried to clarify it in my post, I actually solved my own problem or at least knew which path to take to address it, and then cancelled the post.

    To tell you the truth, I'm not sure what types of lessons people could give you. That's why you don't have 20 replies with volunteers.

    Good luck. Just stick with it.
