First test - trying to add Nextpeer to my Cocos2D project - FAILED!

As today is public holiday down under (26/1 Australian day, yeah!), after kids off to bed, I finally squeezed in some time to have a play with Netxpeer.

I logon to developer site.

I downloaded SDK ver 0.0.10c (What? Not even 0.1 yet?!) and the demo game.

Opened up my simple Cocos2D project (see this post for details).

Have a quick read and followed the steps of the "Requirements", "Prepare" section and all ok so far.

I then got stuck in the "Using the SDK" part. I think for 1st time user like me, I need some "simple" English explanation and step-by-step tutorial/example about how to setup the Delegates and other stuffs.

May be the Puff Puff video would help. I followed that, it goes quite well in the beginning. But later I got stuck about 7 min 25 sec down the track. The video says create method "nextpeerDidTournamentStartWithId" but it doesn't exist in the SDK. Checked the Sample project, it uses "nextpeerDidTournamentStartWithDetails" (as shown below).

#pragma mark NextpeercDelegate methods

//------------------------------- Nextpeer SDK ---------------------------------//

// STEP2 - PART 2

// Nextpeer: This delegate method will be called once the user is about to start a

//            tournament with the given id.

// @note: If your game supports more than one type of tournament, you should use tournamentUuid to start the right one.

-(void)nextpeerDidTournamentStartWithDetails:(NPTournamentStartDataContainer *)tournamentContainer {

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:NOTIFICATION_START_SINGLEPLAYER object:nil];

}

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------//

I think this is this similar to Cocos2D when it gets updated, lots of older methods and other stuffs get renamed and shuffled around. No, I don't have problem with that, but it would be helpful if another video can be setup for the new version/structure or some further information provided.

I tried to google but couldn't find anything for both the old and new methods...

Your search - "nextpeerDidTournamentStartWithDetails" - did not match any documents.

Suggestions:

• Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
• Try different keywords.
• Try more general keywords.

Search Results

I also tried to search other blogs/sites about Nextpeer but can't find anything about real world experience using the SDK. If any one got anything helpful, please let me know!

So looks like I have to stop here, as the video is out of date, and I can't continue my experiment without further information.

[Update 27/01/2012] Got it working on 2nd test, although didn't have time to post further details yet. But yes, it works and it's indeed quite interesting. See this post for some high level info.
