• Game Object Design

  - by oisin

  I'm having a problem with the way I designed my first simple game in C++. I have GameObject (abstract class) and ObjectA which inherits the update() and draw() methods from GameObject. My main loop contains a linked list of GameObject*, and while that list is not empty it cycles through it, calling update on each one. Up until this point, I thought the design was standard(?) and would work. However, when I call update on ObjectA() I run into two problems: ObjectA can die which messes up the list, which in turn throws off the loop in main. ObjectA can spawn more ObjectA's but these are local scope and the update() goes out of scope, creating problems in main's list of GameObjects. I think my design if alright, but I'm having such problems with segmentation faults that there must be something seriously wrong with at least one part of my implementation. If anyone could point out any serious mistakes or simple examples of this being done (or even alternative designs) then I would greatly appreciate it!

• How can I release this NSXMLParser without crashing my app?

  - by prendio2

  Below is the @interface for an MREntitiesConverter object I use to strip all html tags from a string using an NSXMLParser. @interface MREntitiesConverter : NSObject { NSMutableString* resultString; NSString* xmlStr; NSData *data; NSXMLParser* xmlParser; } @property (nonatomic, retain) NSMutableString* resultString; - (NSString*)convertEntitiesInString:(NSString*)s; @end And this is the implementation: @implementation MREntitiesConverter @synthesize resultString; - (id)init { if([super init]) { self.resultString = [NSMutableString string]; } return self; } - (NSString*)convertEntitiesInString:(NSString*)s { xmlStr = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"<data>%@</data>", s]; data = [xmlStr dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding allowLossyConversion:YES]; xmlParser = [[NSXMLParser alloc] initWithData:data]; [xmlParser setDelegate:self]; [xmlParser parse]; return [resultString autorelease]; } - (void)dealloc { [data release]; //I want to release xmlParser here but it crashes the app [super dealloc]; } - (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser foundCharacters:(NSString *)s { [self.resultString appendString:s]; } @end If I release xmlParser in the dealloc method I am crashing my app but without releasing I am quite obviously leaking memory. I am new to Instruments and trying to get the hang of optimising this app. Any help you can offer on this particular issue will likely help me solve other memory issues in my app. Yours in frustrated anticipation: ) Oisin
