Pickin' Sticks iPod version (vids up)

[Innerscope]

Hey everyone, I was on LusikkaMage's site the other day and I found out there was a pickin' sticks for almost every platform except iPhone/iPod touch. (i mean, there was even one for ColecoVision )
So I decided to make my own version! (partly because I wanted to try out the cocos2d framework v0.99 as well)





Here's the source as well (commented as much as I could):

enjoy!

That's really cool, I wanna see a video :P Moosader should add this to the Pickin' Sticks site...

[eatcomics]

Awesome! I bet she will add it. Get us a video, cause I don't currently have an ipod touch!

[GroundUpEngine]

Awesome port dude!

[Falco Girgis]

Coolest version by far!

I'll get started on the Dreamcast/PSP builds. jk.

NICE! Haha I installed your provisioning profile onto my ipod and ran it(which confused me, i thought that i would have to have a device that was registered under your devices...). You did an amazing job. I especially love the accelerometer features, although it makes it kind of hard to play when they go off the screen. But you can just as simply place it on a flat surface so I guess its allright. Just wondering, how did you do the animation from the title to the game(the 3 slices)?

Now try making a 3d pick up sticks with a physics engine...

I will, going to redo the pickin' sticks page so it's not such a bitch to update.


I really like the graphics, ha. Neat~

(when you release libGyro somebody else should, I think that would be pretty cool)

Yea, I'm not quite sure how that would work as well. (in regards to the provisioning profile) I was thinking people would just alter the plist file, but if you used mine, that works too. With the accelerometer, I was thinking it was a bit too sensitive myself, of course you can easily change the constant (0.5) to a larger number in the stick implementation file.
The animation from the title to the game is part of the framework. (cocos2d) It's called CCSplitColsTransition which inherits CCTransitionScene.

Code: Select all

	[[CCDirector sharedDirector] replaceScene:[CCSplitColsTransition 
											   transitionWithDuration:1 
											   scene:[PickinSticksScene scene]]];

It sends the director object a replaceScene message which takes a scene as the parameter (well any subclass of scene which would include sceneTransition, etc)
The replacement scene (the PickinSticksScene instance) is sent in a transitionWithDuration message to the CCSplitColsTransition class object along with the duration. (1 sec in this case)
For something that fits nicely into one line of code it's pretty cool.

Yeah I went into the Info.plist and changed com.whateverwastherebefore.pickinsticks to com.ibly31.pickinsticks.
