Hello,
I am new to xcode and c programming and iphone programming. I have sucessfully “built” this tutorial but it says that it “failed to launch simulated application: iPhone Simulator failed to install the application.” I have it set to iPhone Simulator 3.1 and have tried 3.0 as well.

Hi Brandon,

how would you limit the width that the paddles could move ?
so the ball could squeeze between the paddle and the side of the screen ?

thanks

Chimpy

Great writeup!

Question, I’m trying to change the game from portrait to landscape, I’ve already rotated my images and switched interface builder to landscape, but what do I need to alter in the code? P.S. when I simulate it, it is in portrait with the court squeezed into landscape. Thanks!

Hey Brandon,

You da’ man!.. Amazing walk-through Xcode.. As a first time app developer I was pretty intimidated..(still kind of am actually), but this tutorial definitely opened my eyes… Props! and I could help notice the inconsiderate moron that tried to sell your exact game to apple..lol.. hope you have him on his knees begging for mercy.

In answer to a lot of the problems with

*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception ‘NSInternalInconsistencyException’, reason: ‘-[UIViewController _loadViewFromNibNamed:bundle:] loaded the “iTennisViewController” nib but the view outlet was not set.’

The chances are you followed the tutorial but havn’t set the view connection itself.
If you look through your connections, all your major objects should be connected, but i found with mine that I was missing the “view” connection at the bottom. You want to drag this one to the “view” box in your iTennisViewController.xib window.

Once this is connected, save, and rebuild and run your project!

Hey guys,

Im having trouble Connecting “New Referencing Outlet” and “File’s Owner”, which is displayed in the video. This is needed to connect the racquets, scores and ball. Obviously this is one of the most vital parts in this application, though I cant do it.

All help will be greatly appreciated!
