Can anyone with a new iOS device test out their code? I downloaded a demo of my app onto a iPad 3 and it crashed when this code was ran.

function updateCongratsGUI(pPointerX as integer, pPointerY as integer)
    tIndex as float

tIndex = congratsBGIndex
    congratsBGIndex = congratsBGIndex + (GetModifiedFrameTime() * 15)

if congratsBGIndex >= 301
        congratsBGIndex = congratsBGIndex - 301
    endif

if floor(tIndex) <> floor(congratsBGIndex)
        deleteimage(40)

if congratsBGIndex >= 0 and congratsBGIndex < 10
            loadimage(40, "gui/congrats/00" + str(floor(congratsBGIndex)) + ".jpg")
        elseif congratsBGIndex >= 10 and congratsBGIndex < 100
            loadimage(40, "gui/congrats/0" + str(floor(congratsBGIndex)) + ".jpg")
        else
            loadimage(40, "gui/congrats/" + str(floor(congratsBGIndex)) + ".jpg")
        endif
    endif

SetSpriteImage(206, 40)

if GetPointerReleased() = 1
        saveHighScores()
        SetCongratsGUIVisible(0, 0)
                    rem do normal
                    menuState = 4
                    HideGameplayGUI()
                    playMediaMenu()
                    setLevelSelectScrollVisible(1)
    endif
endfunction

+ Code Snippet

function updateCongratsGUI(pPointerX as integer, pPointerY as integer)
    tIndex as float

    tIndex = congratsBGIndex
    congratsBGIndex = congratsBGIndex + (GetModifiedFrameTime() * 15)

    if congratsBGIndex >= 301
        congratsBGIndex = congratsBGIndex - 301
    endif

    if floor(tIndex) <> floor(congratsBGIndex)
        deleteimage(40)

        if congratsBGIndex >= 0 and congratsBGIndex < 10
            loadimage(40, "gui/congrats/00" + str(floor(congratsBGIndex)) + ".jpg")
        elseif congratsBGIndex >= 10 and congratsBGIndex < 100
            loadimage(40, "gui/congrats/0" + str(floor(congratsBGIndex)) + ".jpg")
        else
            loadimage(40, "gui/congrats/" + str(floor(congratsBGIndex)) + ".jpg")
        endif
    endif

    SetSpriteImage(206, 40)

    if GetPointerReleased() = 1
        saveHighScores()
        SetCongratsGUIVisible(0, 0)
                    rem do normal
                    menuState = 4
                    HideGameplayGUI()
                    playMediaMenu()
                    setLevelSelectScrollVisible(1)
    endif
endfunction

Obviously this code won't work if pasted into a new project, but it might be reproducible on other systems. Or by downloading the Lite version of my Water app.

As a few of us have discovered, using sub-directories under the media directory causes problems.

Have you tried putting your images directly in the media directory and dropping 'gui/congrats/' from the file name?

Also, is there a default image loaded as 40 before this function is called? If not, and 'if floor(tIndex) <> floor(congratsBGIndex)' evaluates to false, there is no image to create the sprite from.

And, did you make sure to add all the images to the Resources in your XCode project?

Cheers,
Ancient Lady

Yes to all of your answers. Well, except for using subfolders.
I refuse to throw ALL of my files into one, unorganized directory.

Anyway, the reason I ask is because the code works perfectly on my 3GS - and it works fine on the iPhone 4 - but with the new iPhone 4S and iPad3 now, it crashes.

Blame it on Apple.

Maybe Xcode hasn't been updated to handle the newer stuff? (And I mean by Apple, not you.)

I use sub directories under sub directories and I don't have problems

on iOS AppGameKit automatically ignores sub directories

If anyone can reproduce this in code and provide a step by step for us, you can post it here http://code.google.com/p/agk/issues/list. We can then take a closer look for a forthcoming update.

I drink tea, and in my spare time I write software.

I'll post it over to Google Code sometime this week. I think it's a problem with the new iOS devices (4S and iPad 3). This could mean that it's a bug with iOS, not AGK. I've gotten and witnessed first-hand my app crashing on this congratulations screen, and when my app loads a new level. But only on new devices. My apps work perfectly on my iPhone 3GS, no crashing, no nada.

Perhaps it something to do with the texture loading on AGK's side?

(That just reminded me of another bug I need to post to Google Code.)
