I am coding an app that displays the Sierpinski triangle with a popover that allows the user to control the colors and number of triangles drawn in the triangle. When trying to change the color via UIButton, my app crashes and I get the error "unrecognized selector sent to instance". My app is set up so that it has a SierpinskiView, which draws the triangles, a SierpinskiViewController, which acts as a delegate for the view and mainly just embeds in a scroll view, and a ControlsViewController, which controls the popover and acts as a delegate for the SierpinskiViewController, and tells it how many triangles to tell the SierpinskiView to draw and in what colors. I suspect my crash may have to do with incorrect usage of delegation.
Here is some relevant code:
Xcode cites this as the method that crashes the app:
@IBAction func changeColor(sender: UIButton) {
let color = sender.currentTitle!
switch mainColorSelected {
case true:
switch color {
case "R": mainColor = UIColor.redColor()
case "O": mainColor = UIColor.orangeColor()
case "Y": mainColor = UIColor.yellowColor()
case "G": mainColor = UIColor.greenColor()
case "B": mainColor = UIColor.blueColor()
case "P": mainColor = UIColor.purpleColor()
case "Bl": mainColor = UIColor.blackColor()
case "W": mainColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
default: break
}
case false:
switch color {
case "R": backgroundColor = UIColor.redColor()
case "O": backgroundColor = UIColor.orangeColor()
case "Y": backgroundColor = UIColor.yellowColor()
case "G": backgroundColor = UIColor.greenColor()
case "B": backgroundColor = UIColor.blueColor()
case "P": backgroundColor = UIColor.purpleColor()
case "Bl": backgroundColor = UIColor.blackColor()
case "W": backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
default: break
}
}
}
mainColorSelected:
var mainColorSelected = false {
didSet {
switch mainColorSelected {
case true: MainColorButton.setTitleColor(UIColor.redColor(), forState: .Normal)
BackgroundColorButton.setTitleColor(UIColor.blueColor(), forState: .Normal)
case false: BackgroundColorButton.setTitleColor(UIColor.redColor(), forState: .Normal)
MainColorButton.setTitleColor(UIColor.blueColor(), forState: .Normal)
}
}
}
mainColor:
var mainColor : UIColor = UIColor.whiteColor() {
didSet {
updateUI(sierpinskiViewController!)
}
}
backgroundColor:
var backgroundColor: UIColor = UIColor.blackColor() {
didSet {
updateUI(sierpinskiViewController!)
}
}
Thanks a ton for any help!

You call some func changeBackgroundColor()
. Check if you have it in code. I see only changeColor()
.
