How can I refresh UIImagesViews differently?

I'm hoping someone can steer me in the right direction. I need to be able to update images on the screen one at a time after a button is pressed. It appears that they only get updated at the end of the cycle which is not how I need it to work. I created a little example to show what I am doing. Basically I have 3 images on the screen...

Hi, I would like to create a user interface which would contain network indication icons (3G, WiFi...) and I would like to use existing graphic elements which are displayed in notification bar.

Changing angle when ball hits paddle

I'd like to deflect a ball at an angle depending on where it hits a paddle. Right now, I'm only changing the y coordinate, which results in an uninteresting deflection. It will angle but independent on impact location against the paddle. I'd like something more fun. Speed, momentum, mass and other factors don't need to be taken into co...

create UIImageView with portion of image file

I'm subclassing UIImageView to create a tile-based application. Essentially, I am taking a single image file and breaking it up into pieces, and then assigning the pieces to my tiles (UIImageViews), so that they can be manipulated independently. What's the best way to grab a portion of an image and use that to draw a UIImageView? I th...

Drawing a UIImage on top of another within one UIImageView

I have several different color block images that are reused in my game many times (its a simple rectangle for a puzzle game). I would like to apply a transparent overlay to each one of these images on the fly (a symbol for the puzzle block) which can be one of several different images.

I am implementing touchesBegan, is there a way to guess which imageview was touched rather than making a rect based on all imageviews and check for the touch point existence in them?

iPhone short animation: video or image sequence?

I have read several post on both matters but I haven't seen anyone comparing so far. Suppose I just want full screen animation without any transparency etc, just a couple of seconds animation (1''-2'') when an app starts. Does anyone know how "video" compares to "sequence of images" (320x480 @ 30) on the iPhone, regarding performance et...

iPhone - Why does the documentation say UIImageView is NSCoding compliant?

Ideally an NSCoding compliant class will work as expected using encodeWithCoder: and initWithCoder: (at least I thought so till recently) without the developer having to bother about what goes on inside the routines (unless my idea of an NSCoding compliant class are totally screwed up!) The UIImageView class is NSCoding compliant. So I ...

NSOperation + Objective-C Categories = Bad Idea?

I've set up an Objective-C category for an iPhone app's UIImageView class. The category's mission is to help load URL-based images asynchronously with memory/disk caching. Now, in UIImageView+Cache.m I have access to an NSOperationQueue so I can kick off a loading thread. I create an NSOperation-derived object, initialized with the imag...

Any quick and dirty anti-aliasing techniques for a rotated UIImageView?

I've got a UIImageView (full frame and rectangular) that i'm rotating with a CGAffineTransform. The UIImage of the UIImageView fills the entire frame. When the image is rotated and drawn the edges appear noticeably jagged. Is there anything I can do to make it look better? It's clearly not being anti-aliased with the background. ...
