launching a coco2d OpenGL View from a viewcontroller - ios

Question

Normally, the coco2d OpenGL view is launched from the appdelegate.
Method1: luanching from appdelegate
- (void) applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication*)application
{
// Init the window
window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
// Try to use CADisplayLink director
// if it fails (SDK < 3.1) use the default director
if( ! [CCDirector setDirectorType:kCCDirectorTypeDisplayLink] )
[CCDirector setDirectorType:kCCDirectorTypeDefault];
CCDirector *director = [CCDirector sharedDirector];
// Init the View Controller
viewController = [[RootViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
viewController.wantsFullScreenLayout = YES;
//
// Create the EAGLView manually
// 1. Create a RGB565 format. Alternative: RGBA8
// 2. depth format of 0 bit. Use 16 or 24 bit for 3d effects, like CCPageTurnTransition
//
//
EAGLView *glView = [EAGLView viewWithFrame:[window bounds]
pixelFormat:kEAGLColorFormatRGB565 // kEAGLColorFormatRGBA8
depthFormat:0 // GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT16_OES
];
// attach the openglView to the director
[director setOpenGLView:glView];
but I need to able to launch the OpenGL view from a viewcontroller
so, inside my viewcontroller's viewdidload function I did this
method2: launch from viewcontroller
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480);
// Create an CCGLView with a RGB565 color buffer, and a depth buffer of 0-bits
CCGLView *glView = [CCGLView viewWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,320,480)
pixelFormat:kEAGLColorFormatRGB565 //kEAGLColorFormatRGBA8
depthFormat:0 //GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT24_OES
preserveBackbuffer:NO
sharegroup:nil
multiSampling:NO
numberOfSamples:0];
director_ = (CCDirectorIOS*) [CCDirector sharedDirector];
director_.wantsFullScreenLayout = YES;
// Display FSP and SPF
[director_ setDisplayStats:YES];
// set FPS at 60
[director_ setAnimationInterval:1.0/60];
// attach the openglView to the director
[director_ setView:glView];
// for rotation and other messages
[director_ setDelegate:self];
// 2D projection
[director_ setProjection:kCCDirectorProjection2D];
// Run the intro Scene
[CCTexture2D setDefaultAlphaPixelFormat:kCCTexture2DPixelFormat_RGBA8888];
// and add the scene to the stack. The director will run it when it automatically when the view is displayed.
[director_ pushScene: [helloworld scene]];
method2 is not working I don't see any scene, nothing shows up. so the question is how to make OpenGL View present from a viewcontroller?

Answer 1

Have you tried as in the class reference attachInView: method?
It'be of the form
[director_ attachInView:self.view];
else you can do it by
[self.view addSubview:director_.view];
Hope this helps you.

Answer 2

since CCDirectorIOS inherits CCDirector class which in turn inherits uiviewcontroller class, and i am assuming you are using uinavigationcontroller, therefore just push the director_ class at the end viewdidload
[self.navigationController pushViewController:director_ animated:YES];
