» Wifi vs Bluetooth for multiplayer gaming
Nov 29, 2009 - 12:03 PM - by FerrariX
Hi,

I'm working on a Texas Holdem Poker game...(there's plenty out there already, but this would be good practice).

I'm having trouble deciding whether to use bluetooth or wifi for multiplayer.
I've gotten the WiTap example to work w/o any problem.

Currently, the local multiplayer feature would be fine but in the near future, i'd like for it to be able to player over the net and not just LAN.

My impression is bluetooth still has some connection issues using the GameKit framework.

Apple's Texas Holdem uses wifi. However, this game has been out before the release of GK framework so I don't know if Bluetooth has gained the upper edge over wifi.

I'm planning to have up to 8 or 10 players.

Please share your experience and thoughts on this dilemma.

Thanks

» NSstream reading\writing
Nov 29, 2009 - 12:01 PM - by J0ker
Hi!

I have a socket connection through wifi, and I need to read from inputStream and write to outputStream. The problem is that stream management is event-driven, and I have to wait for event NSStreamEventHasBytesAvailable before reading. So I can't know when reading\writing outside the handleEvent:eventCode delegate method.

I tried a while loop, but I realized that during the while loop the app doesn't receive delegate messages and never stops:

Pseudo-code:
Code:
-(void) myFunction {
   canRead=NO;
   [self writeToStream:someData];
   while(!canRead) { };
   readData=[self readFromStream];
}

- (void)stream:(NSStream *)stream handleEvent:(NSStreamEvent)eventCode

» Need advice on touchesMoved and a UIImageView
Nov 29, 2009 - 11:52 AM - by Enoch
My wife has commented on my loss of hair the past 2 days on this. I took the project "Which Way Is Up" from iPhone Cookbook and thought about making a learning app that was like Twister/Life/boardgame where you flick the spinner and it spins to whatever slot. I just took the app in the book and modified it.

It's real simple in all you do is move your finger across the UIViewController and the centered UIImageView moves. I store the last 5 touch events in a struct array and get the average distance, time and get speed. I then use that calc to fire off a timer so that when they release their finger, the arrow spins relative to swipe.

Problem is, while touchesMoved is handled, the image seems to be in a context or something, not really updating as you let off your finger, it snaps back to the beginning pos, then moves on my timer.

LOL seems so awefully simple to just update a windows pos on the fly LOL

» Mapping but not google maps
Nov 29, 2009 - 11:26 AM - by woodyuk
Hi All,

First post!

I am wondering if there is a 3rd party mapping engine other than MapKit / Google maps. I have not started developing so maybe mapkit will do what i want but was not sure. I am not a developer so will be using someone external.

The main thing is I don’t want to use a Map as in google maps or of a place on this planet.

I want to build a map of an imagery place. However i still want to be able to get directions around it etc. It’s my Virtual Town / city. You can buy mapping engines for windows dev and design your own maps in standard mapping formats - but wondering if anything out there for iPhone that can support that?

Thanks

» Facebook integration
Nov 29, 2009 - 11:17 AM - by Reidy123
Hi

I wonder if some one can help point me in the right direction. I want to enable my app to post a news feed item when a user performs a specific action. I've been reading through the various facebook documentation and am aware of the tools available to link with (facebook connect etc.).

My problem is not how do I link to facebook, but more what do I need to set up in order to do so? I've installed the developer app and created the basic skelleton for my facebook app. But do I need to go to the lengths of hosting the facebook sdk and html on my webserver baring in mind the only reason I am creating a facebook app is so that I can post messages from my iPhone app?

I was wondering if anyone else has been through this process and could help me out? Any blogs / tutorials would be great also!

Thanks
David

» Read System Feedback from the Console?
Nov 29, 2009 - 10:58 AM - by Shmoopi
Hey everyone, quick question. Does anyone know how to read from the console? Not necessarily for NSLog but for system commands. Something similar to the Terminal iPhone application that puts the console commands in a textfield? Thanks!

» Let user choose who to send email to
Nov 29, 2009 - 10:55 AM - by IphoneSdk
Hi,

I want to let the user choose who they want to an email to from my app

To send an email to a certain email address I use this code:

Code:
NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:@"mailto:k@yahoo.com?subject=This is my subject&body=this is the body"];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];
In the email that will be sent I want there to be data that the user has typed into a text field in the app.

Any ideas how to do this?

I hope I've explained it properly!

Thanks
