O’Reilly covers everything we've got, with content to help us build a world-class technology community, upgrade the capabilities and competencies of our teams, and improve overall team performance as well as their engagement.
I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.
I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.
I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
Displaying Life and Score
What fun would Whack-a-Cac be with no penalties for missing and no way to keep track of how well you are doing? Displaying the user’s score and life are crucial game-play elements in our sample game, and both methods have been called from methods that have been looked at earlier in this section.
Turn your focus now to displayNewScore: in IFCGameViewController.m. Anytime the score is updated, a call to displayNewScore: is necessary to update the score display in the game. In addition to displaying the score, every time the score reaches a multiple of 10 while less than or equal to 50, a new cactus is spawned. This new cactus spawning has the effect of increasing the difficulty of the game as the player progresses.
