making a simple game

[aleksander.hansson]

Hi all.

I need some help to make my simple game.

The player needs to type in some numbers before the timer goes off.

What i also want it to do is to come up with a push notification a couple of minutes before the timers is out. If the player is not in the game. I have no experiance with push, so i need help to set all of that up

By my understanding the NStimer wont work here because the NStimer only works within the game. So what else can i use?

okay, maybe i was a little to fast.

What I want is a box where the user has to type in the correct values. If the user fails to do that before the timer is off he will loose the game.

I am not sure where and how to type in the values.

1. I need help with the code to type in the numbers. Where and how do I set the values that needs to be typed?

2. Thank you

3. I got a timer working rightnow counting from 10. When it reaches 0 it goes to a Game Over screen. Perfect. At the Game Over screen i have a play again button. When it gets pushed I want it to start over from 10 but it goes -1 -2 -3 -4 and so on. Do anyone have a fix for that?

3. Correct, and NSTimer will not work, because none of your code runs once you exit an app.

However, once OS 4.0 comes out, you can use local notifications which should be a lot simpler than the existing push (which have to go through a server). You're probably better off just using those instead of trying to figure out push.

I really hope you are not talking about making a LOST 108 minutes app where you have to type 4 8 15 16 22 43 or whatever.
