There are people from all kinds of countries, so the player's name will be all different , then how should we show them by AppGameKit ? Now AppGameKit only support English, how should we show all names in all kinds of language.

I wanna use UIViewController to show player's name, because iOS SDK can show all kinds of language. Can you tell me if the background of UIViewController can be transparent, only the text can show. Then I can put a UIViewController on the game to show names.

You don't need an UIViewController to show text but only an UILabel.
When you use it you can do a command like this:


But i'm not sure to understand what you wanna do.
Cause names are names and for example my name (Gennaro) can't be translated in other languages.
So can you give more details??

Edit : Do you wanna show the ranking of game center???
Or you have problems with chinese??

There are game centre members from all kinds of countries in the world. So there will be Chinese names, French names , but AppGameKit only support English, so I need use UILabel.

I understand now.
Yes you can use directly UILabel and it will show the string with the chinese or other language.

If you want also the part on how to show the Avatars near the names, i can post the functions in the iOS forum. I used this method in "Match Point : Ping Pong Online" and i'm using it in the new fighting game i'm doing.
Anyway there is also another way to change it in UTF8 mode but is strict to the way of using game center i use.

Important:
Now take care that when you add a subview from OBJ C this view will go over AppGameKit layer.
So you can use it only on iOS and not on MAC, or you need to use the MAC with a fixed window.

Hi, Thank you very much, I got success. I'm not very familiar with UILable. I want to use it for every screen, then how should I manage the labels?

You can manage it in this way:

After you created a label...
UILabel *mylabel = [UILabel .......];

you can do this to manage:
mylabel.tag = 150;

so now you can do 2 functions (that you can find also in my template)



In this way you can call it from everywhere.
You can also create new functions to change coordinate or change what you need.
