That's perfect.
Would I be right in saying because I am putting them there I do not need to put the 'delgate.' in front of the variable name?
ie:
soundOption = TRUE;
rather than
delegate.soundOption = TRUE;

[breshi]

All good:

To change the switch I used:
        [soundSwitch setOn:YES animated:YES];
or
        [soundSwitch setOn:NO animated:YES];

and then had to remember to link the switch in IB as a Referencing Outlet

Yeah, awesome.
Sounds like your figuring stuff out on your own. Soon when you run into a road block you'll be able to overcome it without asking.

which cases would I have to learn about to make an RPG, and also in a custom case can you have numbers in the name?
P.S. I'm making a THAC0 class!

(1) Don't use the word case in place of function. A case has it's own specific use in Obj-C.
(2) You'd have to learn how to display graphics, move them, make a timer to make game logic, and make custom classes to make it easier to handle such things as bad guys and stuff.
(3) In a custom function you can have numbers in the name..
(4) What is THAC0?

With the new template to access any screen you have to go via the MainMenu.
I have modified one screen so it goes directly to a different screen and back again. It works fine but when it returns how can I tell that it has returned? ViewDidLoad is not flagged in this case.

[Gan]

If you look in the docs for UIViewController there should be a viewDidAppear function. That gets called when your view in the controller is show.

Thanks - that worked.
I search and try to figure it out but a simple hint like that is perfect!!!

Everything now is working well - 99% of the time.
Occasionally if I am swapping between screens I get a Bad Exec error and from past experience it means I have a memory leak somewhere.
I made sure every time I alloc or retain I have a matching release - I did miss a few so I put them in.
Still happens so I found an "analyse" option and ran it, the only potential issues it came up with are in the MainMenu.m

- (IBAction)options {
    OptionsScreen *controller = [[OptionsScreen alloc] initWithNibName:@"OptionsScreen" bundle:nil];
    [[self navigationController] pushViewController:controller animated:YES];
}

Here it says "Potential leak of an object allocated on line 59 and stored into 'controller'"

I get the same message for each screen that is called.

Is it because we are alloc OptionsScreen and not releasing it anywhere - I have not really changed much in this part of the Template so am hesitant to make any changes.

[Gan]

No problem.

sry I just haven't been on the computer in general.
1.) oh okay I though they were the same.
2.) right that's probably what I'll try to find out next. It might be a good tut theme
3.) do you mean can't or can?
4.) THAC0 To Hit At Armor Class Zero. It's a AD&D rule on how to hit enemies If you don't have your combat tables.

[Gan]

(3) Can
(4) Never played D&D.

[GMG Kurt]

you should. In my opinion it could most definitely be the Best game of all time in adventure & RPG, sci-fi, and western game history.
I'm talking about the paper and pens version, not Online D&D.
And yes I do consider Boot Hill, Alpha Omega, and Gamma World all D&D.

I found this tut by you somewhere. I don't remember where

but it wasn't posted here so I took the liberty.
And by the way This one was probably one of your most helpful for me! Thanks

If you make an app on Xcode. How do you put it on your iPod without a $100 developer account.
