how did you get that game-logic timer to work? It just looked like a regular method  :-/

[Gan]

It is.
You create an nstimer and set it to call a method every few milliseconds.

[GMG Kurt]

Code: [Select]

//***Turn on Game Timer
gameTimer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval: 0.02
 target: self
   selector: @selector(handleGameTimer:)
   userInfo: nil
repeats: YES];
}

- (void) handleGameTimer: (NSTimer *) gameTimer {
//All game logic goes here, this is updated 60 times a second


//This updates the screen
[self setNeedsDisplay:YES];
}

oh of course NeXtStep  

where it says: "scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval: 0.02"
that is .02 of what? a second? But if its a second why does the method say it updates 60 times a second?

[Gan]

Yeah, that means the timer fires every .2 seconds.
Which is pretty much the same as 1.0/60.0 which is 60 frames a second.

[GMG Kurt]

OOOOHHHH. I see   Thanks
