Cocos2dx global game announcement
At the beginning, the sub-platform called the native prompt. However, due to the complexity of the content to be displayed after the project, I had to study how to display the global game announcement.
Directly addChild does not work, or it is complicated to handle, because it will be cleared every time you switch to scene.
The rendering mechanism of cocos2dx is studied.
Entry:
CCApplication::sharedApplication()->run()
CCDirecor periodically executes a mainLoop
int CCApplication::run(){ PVRFrameEnableControlWindow(false); // Main message loop: MSG msg; LARGE_INTEGER nFreq; LARGE_INTEGER nLast; LARGE_INTEGER nNow; QueryPerformanceFrequency(&nFreq); QueryPerformanceCounter(&nLast); // Initialize instance and cocos2d. if (!applicationDidFinishLaunching()) { return 0; } CCEGLView* pMainWnd = CCEGLView::sharedOpenGLView(); pMainWnd->centerWindow(); ShowWindow(pMainWnd->getHWnd(), SW_SHOW); while (1) { if (! PeekMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE)) { // Get current time tick. QueryPerformanceCounter(&nNow); // If it's the time to draw next frame, draw it, else sleep a while. if (nNow.QuadPart - nLast.QuadPart > m_nAnimationInterval.QuadPart) { nLast.QuadPart = nNow.QuadPart; CCDirector::sharedDirector()->mainLoop(); } else { Sleep(0); } continue; } if (WM_QUIT == msg.message) { // Quit message loop. break; } // Deal with windows message. if (! m_hAccelTable || ! TranslateAccelerator(msg.hwnd, m_hAccelTable, &msg)) { TranslateMessage(&msg); DispatchMessage(&msg); } } return (int) msg.wParam;}
In mainLoop, the current scene of draw is displayed again:
void CCDisplayLinkDirector::mainLoop(void){ if (m_bPurgeDirecotorInNextLoop) { m_bPurgeDirecotorInNextLoop = false; purgeDirector(); } else if (! m_bInvalid) { drawScene(); // release the objects CCPoolManager::sharedPoolManager()->pop(); }}
The point is that there is a m_pNotificationNode in drawScene:
// Draw the Scenevoid CCDirector::drawScene(void){ // calculate "global" dt calculateDeltaTime(); //tick before glClear: issue #533 if (! m_bPaused) { m_pScheduler->update(m_fDeltaTime); } glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT); /* to avoid flickr, nextScene MUST be here: after tick and before draw. XXX: Which bug is this one. It seems that it can't be reproduced with v0.9 */ if (m_pNextScene) { setNextScene(); } kmGLPushMatrix(); // draw the scene if (m_pRunningScene) { m_pRunningScene->visit(); } // draw the notifications node if (m_pNotificationNode) { m_pNotificationNode->visit(); } if (m_bDisplayStats) { showStats(); } kmGLPopMatrix(); m_uTotalFrames++; // swap buffers if (m_pobOpenGLView) { m_pobOpenGLView->swapBuffers(); } if (m_bDisplayStats) { calculateMPF(); }}

/* This object will be visited after the scene. Useful to hook a notification node */ CCNode *m_pNotificationNode;
Create a game announcement layer:
NoticeBoard* noticeBoard = NoticeBoard::create();pDirector->setNotificationNode(noticeBoard);
In this way, two lines of code can be used to implement global game announcements without the impact of switching scenarios.
