I am looking to setup a transition between two levels(after one level is complete, use one of cocos2d's slick transition to transition into the next level). In my GameLayer implementation, I have methods setup to do things like [self buildLevel: 3] to build the playfield. What do I need to do to instantiate a new GameLayer or Layer node or GameScene or Scene node to be able to do things such as:
GameLayer * nextLevelLayer;
[nextLevelLayer buildLevel: 4];
... do a transition between the level 3 and level 4
Perhaps I've laid out my code in a complete misunderstanding of Objective C. I am assuming you can't setup a new GameLayer in the init code, as it will hang, continuously created new nodes. I probably have too much playfield setup code in my init code for the GameLayer, how do you guys usually handle it? Do you set a flag before scheduling the selector for the game's main loop, then if the flag is set, setup the level in the game's main loop, or is there a better way to go about it?
Thanks in advance!
