PlanetCute DEMO (ARC Help!)

[ifMike]

I'm trying to update the PlanetCute demo so that it compiles using ARC with cocos2d v2.1.
But I am getting a couple of (compile) errors.

• Problem 1 in PlanetCuteRUBELayer.mm (solved), just showing it if it might help others:
The first error was "Cast of C pointer type 'void *' to Objective-C pointer type 'PlanetCuteFixtureUserData *' requires a bridged cast", I solved this pretty easily:

I changed this line:

Code: Select all

 PlanetCuteFixtureUserData* fudA = (PlanetCuteFixtureUserData*)fA->GetUserData(); 

to:

Code: Select all

 PlanetCuteFixtureUserData* fudA = (__bridge PlanetCuteFixtureUserData*)fA->GetUserData(); 

• Problem 2 in PlanetCuteRUBELayer.mm (not solved):

in "-(void)afterLoadProcessing:(b2dJson*)json" I get this error:

ERROR CODE: Cannot initialize a parameter of type 'void *' with an lvalue of type 'PlanetCuteFixtureUserData *__strong'

Code: Select all

        // For every pickup fixture, we create a FixtureUserData to set in
        // the user data.
        PlanetCuteFixtureUserData* fud = [[PlanetCuteFixtureUserData alloc] init];
        [m_allPickups addObject:fud];
        f->SetUserData( fud ); // <- This is not working
		
	

• Problem 3 in PlanetCuteRUBELayer.mm (not solved):

in "-(void)afterLoadProcessing:(b2dJson*)json" I also get this error:

ERROR CODE: Assigning to 'void *' from incompatible type 'PlanetCuteRUBELayer *const __strong'

Code: Select all

		// Create a contact listener and let the Box2D world know about it.
		m_contactListener = new PlanetCuteContactListener();
		m_world->SetContactListener( m_contactListener );
    
		// Give the listener a reference to this class, to use in the callback
		m_contactListener->m_layer = self; // This is not working
		

I've googled my ass off Any help?

Any plans on updating the demos for cocos2d v.2 with arc?

In retrospect it would have been better to make the PlanetCuteUserData a simple c-struct, which would fix those first two issues. The last one, I am not really sure about. I'm planning to re-arrange the Cocos2d sample loader to remove the cocos2d code itself, so that only the RUBE-related files remain. While I'm at it I will take a look at this as well.
