GLBASIC iTouch and OpenFeint

[codegit]

Has anybody tried using OpenFeint on the iTouch?? If so can you please give a brief description on how you did it.

There is another lobby system for the iPhone - cant remember what its called now though.  It seems to be quite popular.

However, any external lobby system will no doubt be a pain to interface will.  On this very forum I've got a lobby system (and on my site) that can be used in GLBasic as its been written in GLBasic

It needs a lot of testing though - which is something I haven't really got around to.

Plus+, IIRC

[codegit]

Yes Plus+ is the other one.

Good question here.
I am thinking of implemeting any of this systems too, openfeint and plus+ seems to be more popular now.
Its easy to use on glbasic?

I think we going to be out of luck. The SDK's are most probably for Objective c. I'm not sure but this is my thinking. 

Unfortunatly, this is fast becoming an important part of iPhone development.

you have a true xcode project in the end for the iphone. You can merge _any_ library.
I have no idea about plus+. OpenFeint seems the cheaper solution to me.

Whats OpenFeint?
Merging other libs need to know something about objc and the sdk included in windows.

Its a network lobby system

[codegit]

Lobby systems are becoming a very important marketing tool for iPhone. Also, it adds a lot of depth to your selling point as gamers really like to compare their scores and trophies etc to each other. I am trying to work through this stuff now, but my knowledge of Obj c is really limited. Also, I dont like the language, it kinda sucks a bit. (My opinion)

Question is: How to call GLB in OBJC with and like OpenFeint in main or delagate?

Code: (glbasic) [Select]

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { // for GLB
  return GLB_iPhone_call_main(argc, argv);
}


Code: (glbasic) [Select]

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { // for OF
NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
int retOF = UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, @"OpenFeintAppDelegate");
[pool release];
return retOF;
}


[trucidare]

Call inside glbasic with objekt allocation.

Code: (glbasic) [Select]

@interface myInteface : NSObject <OpenFeinAppDelegate>

@end
...
myInterface* muh = [[myInterface alloc]init];

How and where is the "reference" to GLB_iPhone_main in objc, I guess in

Code: (glbasic) [Select]

@implemenation OFeintTestAppDelegate

@synthesize window;

- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application) {

// [GLBasic GLB_iPhone_main]; //???????? i dunno

...

 [window makeKeyAndVisible];
 [OpenFeint initializeWithProductKey:@"KEY123" ... ]
 [OpenFeint launchDashboard]

}
Could you please elaborate on that as I am starting to learn objc !?

[Kitty Hello]

GLB_iPhone_main is a C function, that takes over all activity and won't ever return.

[MrTAToad]

Any chance of putting in an interface to OpenFeint into GLBasic.

By the way, they will be expanding to Android platforms.  But they wont contemplate doing a system for Window, Mac or Linux unfortunately.
