Hi there guys,

I am working on Tier 2 using Xcode to develop for iOS.

This line of code checks if the pointer was pressed, when its been pressed it collects data as to where. It then checks those values to the position of the sprite.

Im getting no errors or warnings, what am I doing wrong.

+ Code Snippet

float touch_X, touch_Y;
if(agk::GetPointerPressed() == 1){
			touch_X = agk::GetPointerX();
			touch_Y = agk::GetPointerY();
            
			if (agk::GetSpriteHit(touch_X, touch_Y) == BUG_INDEX){
				agk::PlaySound(1);
				bugHit++;
				drawNewBug();
			}
		}

Thanks
Georhe

is it returning 0?

perhaps you should use agk::GetSpriteHitTest(SpriteID,x,y); and scan each individual sprite

have you moved the viewport at all? maybe use agk::ScreenToWorldX(GetPointerX());

Dodge those Balls, awesomest app on the Play Store

@PDesigns: what exactly is the problem and what is supposed to happen? Also which version of AppGameKit are you using?

Also, is GetPointerPressed definitely what you're after, as opposed to GetPointerState() (repeatedly returns 1 while being pressed)?

Thanks for the replies.

I am using the most recent version with Xcode developing for iOS

Here is the code with GetPointerState

+ Code Snippet

	float touch_X, touch_Y;
    
	if(agk::Timer() < MAX_TIMER){
        
		if(agk::GetPointerState() ){
			touch_X = agk::GetPointerX();
			touch_Y = agk::GetPointerY();
            
			if (agk::GetSpriteHit(touch_X, touch_Y) == BUG_INDEX){
				agk::PlaySound(1);
				bugHit++;
				drawNewBug();
			}
		}
	}

When the user has touched the screen the statement should run collecting the values for where the pointer was pressed. It then runs those values where the pointer was pressed to see if it matches the Bug Sprite location (Which is random)

If it has hit the bug then a sound will play, score added too and a new bug generated.

I am not sure how to tell what the GetPointerState() function is returning

Hope that helps a little

You can simply print them with the agk:: Print(); command. Chuck this in your app::Loop(), it's very important for you to know what they're returning.

+ Code Snippet

agk::PrintC("Pressed: "); agk::Print(agk::GetPointerPressed());
agk::PrintC("State: "); agk::Print(agk::GetPointerState());

One important thing to remember about the GetSpriteHit command is that it will return the most front/top sprite. If you have a sprite overlapping your target sprite then it may return that overlapping sprite. GetSpriteHitTest may be worth a shot.

Oh, and welcome to the forums.

Thank you Hodgey!

GetSpriteHitTest() worked like a charm!

So far AppGameKit has been a wonder, looking forward to working on some games
