@Shyam Unless they’ve made it easier to build for iPhone in 3.0, you’ll need to play around with getting a subset of the code to compile in stand-alone fashion. I had to change around with the #includes by removing/adding in different places to get it building.

You could start by looking at the subset of classes I have in the zip file and try and extract those files from the Player source. Once you can build them as a subset, you’ll be able to put them in an Xcode project to create a library. The library is something that you can reuse in other Xcode projects using the project reference.

Hey Paul,

Could you tell me how I can make my own target files for Player 3? I just got Player 3 installed on my Mac and would like to use it through my iPhone/XCode.

Thanks in advance!

@alfak ok, so the sample that I have posted lets you randomly drive a physical or simulated robot around. I use the Position2D class to control the movement. If you look at the Xcode project there are places to change the drive functionality.

You’re going to have to read up on Objective-C and the SDK if you want to understand iphone development. http://developer.apple.com/iphone/

@Paul

playerjoy: “playerjoy allows you to manually drive your (physical or simulated) robot around.”
http://player.sourcearchive.com/documentation/2.0.4-3.2ubuntu2/playerjoy_8cc-source.html

I’m not familiar with Objetive-C and the SDK (i only compile some examples).

@alfak Can you explain what the issue is with porting it?

I’m not entirely familiar with playerjoy, is that some kind of additional interface for a robot sensor/accessory?

If so, you’ll need to use either the 2.03 or the 2.1 source and then pull out the appropriate headers and fix them so that they reference each other. Those files should be added to the existing 2.03 or 2.1 Xcode projects that I have in the zip. It’s not the cleanest approach, but it was the only way we got things working for this project.

Hi Paul!

I tried your project on my ipod touch and it works well.
I’m trying to port the playerjoy with a simple interface.
Have you got any idea?

The player 2.03 project that I include has both an iPhone version and a Mac version of player/stage.

You can do a project reference in a new Xcode Cocoa application and “import” the code. Then you can create iPhone/Mac applications.

I haven’t used Player 3, since it was released after I worked on the project. I may look into it if I have more time, but the robots here at RIT are still using version 2.03 and 2.1

Very interesting stuff! I’m just starting with Player/Stage and I’m a long time Mac user. Have you ever tried using Player 3? Also, would you think it would be possible to create e Player Framework for the Mac to build Cocoa based Player applications for the Mac/iPhone?
