NSUserDefault for a simple game - ios

Question

I'm creating a simple game app.
When the user click on the first button and the int click is 0, the he can click on the second button, and so on.
If the user firstly click on the second button and then on the first, his lifes will decreasing.
I'm having problems when the user reaches 0 lifes and the View returns on the first page.
Then when I click on the button to play again, I have 0 lifes and don't 3!
Here is my code:
#implementation livello1
int click=0;
int lifes=3;
-(void)updateLifes:(int)lifes{
if (lifes==1){
NSUserDefaults *standardDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
[standardDefaults setObject:#"1" forKey:#"UserLifes"];
[standardDefaults synchronize];
[self showLifes];
livello1 *livello1view = [[livello1 alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
livello1view.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal;
[self presentViewController:livello1view animated:YES completion:nil];
}
else if (lifes==2){
NSUserDefaults *standardDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
[standardDefaults setObject:#"2" forKey:#"UserLifes"];
[standardDefaults synchronize];
[self showLifes];
livello1 *livello1view = [[livello1 alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
livello1view.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal;
[self presentViewController:livello1view animated:YES completion:nil];
}
else if (lifes==3){
NSUserDefaults *standardDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
[standardDefaults setObject:#"3" forKey:#"UserLifes"];
[standardDefaults synchronize];
[self showLifes];
livello1 *livello1view = [[livello1 alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
livello1view.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal;
[self presentViewController:livello1view animated:YES completion:nil];
}
else if (lifes==0){
NSUserDefaults *standardDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
lifes=3;
[self showLifes];
[standardDefaults setObject:#"3" forKey:#"UserLifes"];
[standardDefaults synchronize];
gioca *giocaview = [[gioca alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
giocaview.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal;
[self presentViewController:giocaview animated:YES completion:nil];
}
}
-(void)showLifes{
NSUserDefaults *standardDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
if ([[standardDefaults stringForKey:#"Userlifes"] isEqualToString:#"1"]) {
lifes=1;}
if ([[standardDefaults stringForKey:#"Userlifes"] isEqualToString:#"2"]) {
lifes=2;}
if ([[standardDefaults stringForKey:#"Userlifes"] isEqualToString:#"3"]) {
lifes=3;}
lifesLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%i",lifes];
}
- (IBAction)press1:(UIButton *)button1{
if ((button1.selected=YES && click==0)){
click=1;
}
else{
lifes=lifes-1;
click=0;
[self updateLifes:(lifes)];
}
}
- (IBAction)press2:(UIButton *)button2{
if ((button2.selected =YES) && click==1){
click=2;
}
else{
lifes=lifes-1;
click=0;
[self updateLifes:(lifes)];
}
}
- (void)viewDidLoad{
[super viewDidload];
[self showLifes];
}

Answer 1

Create another button for "Play Again" and link it to -(IBAction)buttonPressed:(UIButton *)playAgain and in that function reset the value of life to 3. And you don't need to pass lifes as it is a global variable (though that is not a very good practice). Though I am not really sure about your logic/ implementation for the click, you can use the following (slightly optimised) code :
#implementation livello1
int click=0;
int lifes=3;
-(void)updateLifes{
if (lifes!=0) {
NSUserDefaults *standardDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
[standardDefaults setInteger:lifes forKey:#"UserLifes"];
[standardDefaults synchronize];
[self showLifes];
livello1 *livello1view = [[livello1 alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
livello1view.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal;
[self presentViewController:livello1view animated:YES completion:nil];
}
else {
NSUserDefaults *standardDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
lifes=3;
[self showLifes];
[standardDefaults setObject:#"3" forKey:#"UserLifes"];
[standardDefaults synchronize];
gioca *giocaview = [[gioca alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
giocaview.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal;
[self presentViewController:giocaview animated:YES completion:nil];
}
}
-(void)showLifes{
NSUserDefaults *standardDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
lifesLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%i",[standardDefaults integerForKey:#"Userlifes"]];
}
- (IBAction)press1:(UIButton *)button1{
if ((button1.selected=YES && click==0)){
click=1;
}
else{
lifes=lifes-1;
click=0;
[self updateLifes];
}
}
- (IBAction)press2:(UIButton *)button2{
if ((button2.selected =YES) && click==1){
click=2;
}
else{
lifes=lifes-1;
click=0;
[self updateLifes];
}
}
- (IBAction)buttonPressed:(UIButton *)playAgain{ //the new function
lifes = 3;
click = 0;
[self updateLifes];
}
- (void)viewDidLoad{
[super viewDidload];
[self showLifes];
}

Answer 2

on playAgain Button click, setLife counter to 3.
