I am making an iPhone app and want to use an 'if' statement and a boolean to set default values in some instances but not others... is this possible? Are there alternative options if it is not possible? In the MainViewController.m I have:

  @interface MainViewController (){
      BOOL moveOver;
  }

[...]

- (void)viewDidLoad

  {
      [super viewDidLoad];
      _label.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%i", computerSpeed];
      }
  }

[...]

- (void)flipsideViewControllerDidFinish:(FlipsideViewController *)controller

  {
      [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
      moveOver = true;    
  }

The problem that it is redefined when the ViewDidLoad runs... I need a statement that will not redefine when the ViewDidLoad runs. I have something that I feel like is much closer to working... In the ViewDidLoad I have:

  if (playToInt != 10  || computerMoveSpeed != 3) {   
      moveOver = TRUE;
  }

which connects to my created method, gameLoop. It has

  if (moveOver == false) {
      computerMoveSpeed = 3;        
      playToInt = 10;    
  }

I have tried putting the code in the gameLoop into the ViewDidLoad, but it had the same effect. When moveOver was false, the computerMoveSpeed and the playToInt were both seemingly 0. I have two UITextFields and typed 10 and 3 in them... does this not set it to the default? It seems to set the default to 0 for both, how do I change this?

THIS IS A DIFFERENT ISSUE THAN THE THREE BOOLEAN VALUES QUESTION
