migrating cocos2dx to v2.1.5

Question

First of all, I know this is such an outdated version. But I really need an answer. I'm very new to iOS and cocos2dx, I just got some old code and I'm trying to update cocos2dx to v2.1.5.

My problem is CCMutableArray has been deprecated, replaced with CCArray. I know that in the latest version CCArray has also been deprecated.

But my question is how do I properly update this part of the code without getting unexpected results...

static CCMutableArray<CCString*>* getCsvList(string path);
CCMutableArray<GiftInfo*>* giftList;

I believe I can't just do a drop-in replace like:

static CCArray<CCString*>* csvList(string path);
CCArray<GiftInfo*>* giftList;

Thanks.

Answer 1

you can use CCArray like this

static CCArray* csvList( string path );
CCArray* giftList;
CCArray* stringList;
//
//
//you can add object of CCObject class or derived from CCObject class to CCArray
//example
GiftInfo* gift = GiftInfo::create();
giftList->addObject(gift); //GiftInfo must derived from CCObject class

CCString* myString = CCString::create("new string");
stringList.addObject(myString);

//when getting value from CCArray, it will return object of CCObject, you have to cast it to your class
CCString* getValue = (CCString*)stringList.objectAtIndex( index );
GiftInfo* getGift = (GiftInfo*)giftList.objectAtIndex( index ); 

for more information see CCArray class inside cocos2d-x code.

Note: It is better to updatre to version 2.2.6 instead of 2.1.5, Its is latest version of cocos2d-x 2.x series.
