iCade plugin

Magnusviri

I have not tested this one bit or even tried to compile it. This is what I came up with by looking at the storekit, gamekit, and uikit plugins.

If anyone has any comments or corrections by just looking (I don't exactly expect anyone to test it for me), I'd appreciate it.

@Caroline, you are hosting the MHUIKit plugin. I've never used GitHub so I was thinking maybe you would like to host this? I also noticed that you seem to be the plugin expert, so you would be a perfect choice to host this!

EDITS:

Fixed a bug

Included usage

This requires the 3 files at the following URL:
https://github.com/scarnie/iCade-iOS/tree/master/iCadeTest/iCade

And this will require some lua code to interpret the events. I'll write some code to do that tomorrow.

1. I'm just a wannabe plugin expert - I have to have 3 hours of uninterrupted concentration and a lot of stack dumps to do anything with them.

2. It feels to me that the dispatch function is wrong - it should be in the iCade class - I think that you are looking up "dispatchEvent" in a table where it doesn't exist. The iCade class descends from GEventDispatcherProxy, which allows it to dispatch events. (See gamekit.mm for example)

3. I would be happy to host when it's more fully tested, although I had not used github before, so am no expert. However, you could work out how to host in under an hour - there's even a github app if you don't like working through Terminal. Then it's easier for you to make changes - if this is something that you're working on, it makes more sense for you to host.

4. Some things might be wrong (not sure, just put into Xcode, compiled, and picked the obvious things)

needs - #import "iCadeState.h"

static void dispatchEvent(lua_State* L, const char* type, (iCadeState) state)
should be
static void dispatchEvent(lua_State* L, const char* type, iCadeState state)

@interface iCadeHelper : NSObject
should be
@interface iCadeHelper : NSObject < iCadeEventDelegate >

and you need { } around the @interface variables.

You don't need the dealloc if you release the view after addSubview, and if you have dealloc, you need [super dealloc] (unless you are using ARC, in which case you don't have to worry about releases).

You can't have a function called iCadeState, as it's already defined in iCadeState.h

Your destruct and getInstance needs to have a <> casting as in:
GReferenced* object = static_cast< GReferenced* >(ptr);
iCade* icade = static_cast< iCade* >(object->proxy());

I haven't gone through the lua stack stuff, so not sure if you've got that right. I tend to that by trial and stack dump.

I forgot to say, that I'm impressed so far, and would love to see this working on your iCade.
(Wants...)

@Caroline, thanks, those were most of the compile bugs. I can't get the iCadeReaderView to work. It isn't getting text events. Something to do with firstResponder. I'll have to look at it more tomorrow.
