Will there be little chunks of cheese on sticks?
Congrats on the success of cocos2d, it's great being able to recommend something and not have it come back and haunt you later. The rate of development is phenominal :D

Yes, kudos and much thanks to the Cocos2d team for making iPhone game development much more accessible to those of us with less programming experience!
Speaking of which, is this the right place to discuss issues with the new version? My newbee butt is having a hard time getting projects to work with 0.99.3. I've opened a new 0.99.3 project and imported all my classes and assets from a 0.99.1 project, and now I'm getting this error (after being involuntarily dumped from the app):
*** Assertion failure in -[Game addChild:]
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Argument must be non-nil'
When I comment out the addChild methods in Game, I end up with a similar error in another class. Is addChild to be handled differently in 0.99.3?
I've searched the forum and documentation before posting here.
Kind Regards,
André

I don't think this is the thread for asking questions.
This thread is probably better suited for congratulating Cocos2D, and planning the v1.0 party. I request (beef) pigs in a blanket.
In other news, as there is only one assert in addChild, it's clear that whatever the child you're trying to add is nil. Have you created it? Maybe your code is organized differently now than it was before? In either case, starting your own thread with the code you're using between a pair of ` would be much helpful.

Hi Riq,
I just tried compiling cocos2d-iphone.xcodeproj in 0.99.3 (targeting simulator 3.1) in XCode 3.2.2 and it fails with this error when it tries to build cocos2d-blocks:
Invalid value 'coop.plausible.blocks.compilers.gcc.4_2' for GCC_VERSION
As well, the project as a whole generates 4466 compiler warnings. Is there something special I need to do to get this working?
@Karl: Probably you are compiling the "blocks" samples. In order to test them, you need to install PLBlocks: http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/wiki/doku.php/release_notes:0_99_2#blocks_support
@JohnM: suppose that you have 50 enemies, and all of them use the same animation... so, the CCAnimationCache will be added in order to save memory for those cases.
MINI ROADMAP UDPATE:
In order to have ready a version that supports multiple resolutions for 1 device as quick as possible (eg: iPhone 4.0) I'll split v0.99.4 in 2 versions:
v0.99.4:
- Integrate new CocosDenshion (done)
- Integrate CCArray (new, done)
- EAGView: renderer + view split. Add support for multiple scales/resolutions
- fixes
v0.99.5:
- Animation Cache
- fixes
- fixes
v1.0
- fixes
- fixes
v0.99.4: When ? Expect a release candidate next week
so what i understand is that you are going to have one animation that can work in multiple resolutions?
i already do that using the idiom if else statement thing, like this...
if (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad)
{
//ipad
danceSheet = [CCSpriteSheet spriteSheetWithFile:@"heli2.png"];
}
else
{
//ipod
danceSheet = [CCSpriteSheet spriteSheetWithFile:@"heli2iphone.png"];
}will that be different from the normal iphone to 4g iphone?? if so will be a pain
looking forward to the animation cache, will be nice for the game i'm doing now.
i'm hope it will be easy to use. and i'm curious to see if/how it improves performance in the game im making :)

To robodude666:
thank you for your help! I got the PLBlocks here. http://code.google.com/p/plblocks/downloads/list
Thanks for the info on PLBlocks.
I still am having troubles building 99.3 and wondered if anyone has the same issue.
Background: I use 10.6.4 OSX. Using a version 2 iPod Touch. Based on many other errors and folk's comments on the forum I've modified the project:
1) Building to armv6.
2) Installed PLBlocks.
3) Using GCC 4.2 (Plausible Blocks) compiler.
Problem: While building cocos2d 99.3, and after installing PLBlocks, SDK4 to /Dev4 (since I am keeping older SDK in /Developer) I get a gcc4.2 failed type of error.
Here's a message from within xCode's Build Results:
ld: framework not found PLBlocks
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Command /Dev4/Library/PLBlocks/Compilers/gcc42-iphoneos3.2/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 failed with exit code 1
I also dragged the PLBlocks framework in to my cocos2d 99.3 directory and got the project to recognize the PLBlocks framework. So, now it's in two places.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for helping.
I made some progress (or maybe digressed) after installing the PLBlocks beta 1.1 <-- This seems better than the RC.
Now, my errors are:
Undefined symbols:
"__PLBlock_object_assign", referenced from:By the way, the templates seem to be working fine. This just happens with the build all ( the examples,etc) in 99.3 itself.
