   I'm sorry if this has been asked elsewhere, but is it possible to combine Objective C with Cocos? I started this game in Objective C (using xibs, view controllers, etc) and I'd like to incorporate elements of Cocos in it (transitions, special effects). Is this possible? Thank you.

   LOL You may want click the Documentation link at the top. Cocos2d-iphone is written in Objective C.

   I know that, but do I just import the cocos libraries into Classes and make my cocos function calls?

   For eg, can I do something like:

   - (IBAction)continueButtonPressed:(id)sender {
   TestAppDelegate *delegate = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
   [delegate loadGameScreen];
   }

   Guess I'll have to try it and find out...

   I think your question is, can you combine UIKit with Cocos2d? Is this correct?

   Yes you can.

   Ensure you #import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

   and after filling out said UIControl's variables

   You can add it to the view with:
   [CCDirector sharedDirector] openGLView] addSubview:<control_>];

   and be sure you remove it from the openGLView also when you no longer need the control via :

   [<control_> removeFromSuperview];

   @meladori check out the "attachDemo" that is in the "tests" folder that comes with the cocos distribution. Its probably not exactly what you want - but it has an xib, UIKit objects, and cocos animation. Its a good demo to look through.

   Thank you, @Vabu and @Codemattic. I'll take a look at the sample files in the tests folder.
