All you have to do is copy the new update score method just the last few line before the else are changed. Then add the

-(void)reset;

to the Quiz game view controller.h file and finally add the reset method below to the Quiz game view controller.m file. There you go a working reset!!

-(void)updateScore
{
	// If the score is being updated, the question is not live
	questionLive = NO;
	
	[timer invalidate];
	
	// Hide the answers from the previous question
	[answerOne setHidden:YES];
	[answerTwo setHidden:YES];
	[answerThree setHidden:YES];
	[answerFour setHidden:YES];
	NSString *scoreUpdate = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"Score: %d", myScore];
	theScore.text = scoreUpdate;
	[scoreUpdate release];
	
	// END THE GAME.
	NSInteger endOfQuiz = [theQuiz count];
	if((((questionNumber - 1) * 6) + 6) == endOfQuiz)
	{
		// Game is over.
		if(myScore > 0)
		{
			NSString *finishingStatement = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"That's game!\nNice going \nYou scored %i!", myScore];
			theQuestion.text = finishingStatement;
			[finishingStatement release];
		}
		else
		{
			NSString *finishingStatement = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"That's game!\nWow. You're terrible! \nYou scored %i.", myScore];
			theQuestion.text = finishingStatement;
			[finishingStatement release];
		}
		theLives.text = @"";
		
		// Make button 1 appear as a reset game button
		restartGame = YES;
		[answerOne setHidden:NO];
		[answerOne addTarget:self action:@selector(reset)forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchDown];
		[answerOne setTitle:@"Restart the game" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
		

		
		
		
	}
	else
	{
	// Give a short rest between questions
	time = 3.0;
	
	// Initialize the timer
	timer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:1.0 target:self selector:@selector(countDown) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];
	}
}

// RESET METHOD
-(void)reset {
	
	[self viewDidLoad];	
	
	
}

Did not work for me. Could you please help?

(Quiz game view controller.h):

-(void)checkAnswerint)theAnswerValue;
-(void)askQuestion;
-(void)updateScore;
-(void)loadLevelOne;
-(void)countDown;
-(void)reset;

@end

Quiz game view controller.m file:


-(void)updateScore
