Cocos2D: Press&Hold button

Hey, sports!


Today the time is really really short, so I made an example and uploaded it.
It's no a virus or anything, it's a project that can help you when you need to make action like this:


1)Press button;
2)Wish that it would increase/decrease a "number label";
3)Release button;
4)Action stop right after releasing




                                           here's the link:

Hasta la vista, dudes.

AdMob/Cocos2D: How to implement Admod using Cocos2D

How's it going, bros?


Here's another post for those who want to try to make some money with Ads, specifically with AdMob - Google solutions for apps in your mobile application.


If you're just looking for the standard stuff for a UIViewController you can go directly to the GoogleCode page:


http://code.google.com/mobile/ads/docs/ios/fundamentals.html

Real easy instructions, almost thought that they should put on the title: "AdMob implementation for Dummies" (that's why i used :) ).


But if you are a avid Cocos2D programmer and are cracking you head of testing your options and not getting a good tutorial here it goes:


*Using: Cocos2D 1.0.1


1)Follow Google's link instructions till the part it shows the ".h" file;
2) Include what's not there:


//MyCoolApp.h

#import "GADBannerView.h"

#import "RootViewController.h"

@interface MyCoolApp : CCLayer {

    

    GADBannerView *bannerView_; 

    

    NSTimer* refreshTimer;

    NSInteger elapsedTime;

    NSInteger minutes;

    NSInteger seconds;

}

@property(nonatomic, retain)NSTimer* refreshTimer;

//YES I DID START THIS METHOD WITH UPPER CASE (:

-(void)AdMob;

-(void)removeSubviews;

-(void)targetMethod:(NSTimer *)theTimer;

//MyCoolApp.m

@synthesize refreshTimer;

//AdMob code

-(void)AdMob{

    NSLog(@"ADMOB");

    

    CGSize size = [[CCDirector sharedDirector] winSize];

    bannerView_ = [[GADBannerView alloc]

                   initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0, size.height-GAD_SIZE_468x60.height-720,GAD_SIZE_468x60.width,GAD_SIZE_468x60.height)];

    

    bannerView_.adUnitID = @"BUNCH_OF_NUMBERS_ADMOB_GIVES_YOU";

    bannerView_.rootViewController = self;

    [[[CCDirector sharedDirector]openGLView]addSubview:bannerView_];

    [bannerView_ loadRequest:[GADRequest request]];

}

//best practice for removing the barnnerView_

-(void)removeSubviews{

    NSArray* subviews = [[CCDirector sharedDirector]openGLView].subviews;

    for (id SUB in subviews){

        [(UIView*)SUB removeFromSuperview];

        [SUB release];

    }

}

//this makes the refreshTimer count

-(void)targetMethod:(NSTimer *)theTimer{

    

    //INCREASE OF THE TIMER AND SECONDS

    elapsedTime++; 

    seconds++;

    

    //INCREASE OF THE MINUTOS EACH 60 SECONDS

    if (seconds>=60) {

        seconds=0; minutes++;

        [self removeSubviews];

        [self AdMob];

    }

    NSLog(@"TIME: %02d:%02d", minutes, seconds);

}

-(id)init{

    

    if( (self=[super init])) {

             refreshTimer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:1.0f target:self selector:@selector(targetMethod:) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];

            [self AdMob];

    }

    return self;

}

3)Just be happy!
