Well to start off, THANK YOU, all of you. And to be honest the college class I am in, I kinda jumped into before I was ready. I should of taken some more programming courses (I just have Fundamentals of C++ and C++ One under my belt), so now instead of doing text programs (like I probly should be working on) I am trying to build a game. And right now its either, build the game or fail the course, and I really don't want to fail and I figure I'll learn a lot under pressure. Heres my code:
GameViewController.h
GameViewController.m
The next set is where my "touches moved" and my attempt at collision is. The touches moved is based on a lesson found in iPhone and iPad Apps for Absolute Beginners by Dr. Rory Lewis
TransformView.h
TransformView.m
Heres what I do know. I know that doing the .center.x and .center.y is a bad choice since that point alone is the size of a pixel so the player would have to be ridiculously accurate for it to work. I know that I should use an "area" of some sort (a rectangle most likely) to write a condition if the object is within a certain area, then win.
Heres what I don't know. I don't know if my win condition even works, it doesn't give me an error but I haven't seen it execute. It hasn't executed either due to it not working, or do to my condition statement to be wrong. One or the other is written improperly maybe both.
A little bit about the kind of game I am trying to accomplish. Its a little kids game, where I want to do basic things, like fitting objects in the right spots like a puzzle piece. Which is why I need to figure out a coordinate event of some sort. And the reason why I also included rotating and scaling is because later in the game for a "harder" difficulty I want the player to stretch or shrink the image to a certain size or rotate it to a certain degree to win. Its a very basic game I and my fellow students are trying to execute. Our coding team is myself and 2 other kids, and were all about as good as each other. The books I have and use are, Programming in Objective C 2.0 by Stephen Kochan and Learning iPhone Game Programming by Michael Daley. I was borrowing the Rory Lewis book from a friend. Thanks for you're help, I am looking through the books trying to come up with something. Their isn't a tutor at school for iPhone development but a friend told me about here. Between advice here, the books, self determination, I am sure I will get it done, I won't give up
