A "best score" sample project that work but...

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

Hi there,

As many here I’d prefer apologise first if the question is stupid since I’m working with lua since yesterday, but here it is.
I’ve made a sample project that can be downloaded here : http://www.sendspace.com/file/f4y596

And it’s related to this.
It’s a simple project that save your best score. Click the green button to add score, then relaunch your project and the old score is saved.

Ok so it works BUT…
When I build this project to my iPhone I got a black screen (of course I tried without the score features and it works)…

I would appreciate if someone could help me (and if someone could try it on android)

Here is the main.lua file if you don’t want to dowload the file:

--module(..., package.seeall)  
  
--Json = require("Json")  
  
score = require("Score")  
  
local currentScore =0  
  
scList = score.newList(1)  
   
scList:Load("score.text")  
  
local bestScore=scList:GetPoints(1)  
  
--   
-- ////////////////////  
--  
  
local showScore=display.newText( "", 300, 300, nil, 60)  
showScore:setTextColor( 255,255,255 )  
  
local yourScore=display.newText( "your score", 50, 300, nil, 20)  
yourScore:setTextColor( 255,255,255 )  
  
local showBestScore=display.newText( "", 300, 500, nil, 60)  
showBestScore:setTextColor( 255,255,255 )  
  
local yourBestScore=display.newText( "best score", 50, 500, nil, 20)  
yourBestScore:setTextColor( 255,255,255 )  
  
local instruction=display.newText( "cmd+R to relaunch", 50, 700, nil, 20)  
instruction:setTextColor( 255,255,255 )  
  
local buttonScore = display.newImage( "button.png" )  
buttonScore.x = 100  
buttonScore.y = 100  
function buttonScore:tap(event)  
  
 currentScore=currentScore+1  
  
 if currentScore\>=bestScore then scList:StoreEntry(1,currentScore,best) end  
  
 scList:Save("score.text")  
  
 bestScore=scList:GetPoints(1)  
  
 showScore.text=currentScore  
 showBestScore.text=bestScore  
  
end  
buttonScore:addEventListener("tap", buttonScore)

Thanks in advance,

Reazle

Hi Reazle,

your code works good. So thanks for trying my module. You saying that it works in the Corona simulator, but not on the IPhone? I am using an IPod touch 2nd gen where it works. What model do you have?

Does the XCoder Organizer log files tell you anything about a problem?

Cheers

Hi Michael, thanks for your answer.

I’ve tried on both iphone 3G and 4. The problem is the same.

I got the same Log when I upload an HelloWorld App and this one, but the HelloWorld works, not the TestScore.

Here is the log :

[/applescript]

It seems that there is a problem with my App Identifier but I didn’t figure how to manage it.
(I’m using a provisoning profile associated with an App Id : com.reazle.coronadev)

Thanks in advance if you can bring me some light on this :slight_smile:

Right now I can’t install it on my device as I just setup a new sytem so I have to reinstall xcode. But I will do so in a couple of days. I let you know then. [import]uid: 5712 topic_id: 3168 reply_id: 9391[/import]

Hi Mike,

just to let you know that I’ve tried it on an Android Device and it’s exactly the same problem.

Please let me know if you find something.

Cheers,

Hey I’ve possibly found your bug because I’ve just been through the same problems - it could be the fact that when you do:

score = require(“Score”)

your score.lua file is saved with a lower-case ‘s’ so it should be

score = require(“score”)

the simulator doesnt pick-up the syntax error but your iphone will!

let me know if that was the problem! cheers
