Initialize CCLabelTTF crashes app

[TelTikky]

I am trying to display score using CCLabelTTF, but my app crashes when I try to initialize the label variable. Did anyone ever have the same problem or have a clue on how to solve this problem?

The code I used is this:

scoreLabel = [CCLabelTTF labelWithString: [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", score]

dimensions: CGSizeMake(180, 20) alignment: UITextAlignmentRight fontName:@"Arial" fontSize: 12]; 
	
[scoreLabel setPosition: ccp(10,460)]; 
	
[self addchild: scoreLabel];

declaration in header file:

CCLabelTTF *scoreLabel;

...

@property (nonatomic, retain) CCLabelTTF *scoreLabel;

Thanks in advance.

Nevermind, typo

I guest error at [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", score]
If the type of score is double then you should use [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%e", score].

Good luck!

Thanks for your reply. Anyways that problem was solved. Now here is the weird one. My app does not crash, but neither is my CCLabelTTF showing.

Here is my latest code, I have tried to change the default color, to no avail ...

	
scoreLabel = [CCLabelTTF labelWithString: [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", score]
dimensions: CGSizeMake(20, 20) alignment: UITextAlignmentRight fontName:@"Arial" fontSize: 25]; 
scoreLabel.position = ccp(50, 300); 
scoreLabel.color = ccc3(0,0,0); 	
[self addChild: scoreLabel];

ccc3(0, 0, 0) is black. It's same with background color. You try to change to ccc3(255, 255, 255) (white)

Thanks for the reply.

My background is actually blue so black should stand out.

I am trying to bring the score label to the front by adding:

[self addChild: scoreLabel z:10];

But it is still not showing.

You try to change CGSizeMake(20, 20) to CGSizeMake(100, 100)

Good luck;
