What is the correct way of managing views on playn?

I am at the very early days of my journey with playn. I am actually iOS developer and want to use playn. I want to transform the game which is already on App Store. I normally used navigation controller on my iOS game.

The schema is like: Menu Play Now Classic Game Fast Mode High Scores Classic Scores Fast Mode Scores . . .

Now I started to add grouplayers (views actually) to graphics().rootLayer(). But I want to add animation to these views like iPhone applications. Is this the correct way of managing views on a game?

PS. I saw the tripleplay library has some objects like screenstack. But the samples are not using that.

Solution

  • The ScreenStack is definitely designed for managing the sorts of things you're talking about. Check out the source code to the game Atlantis for an example of the use of the screen stack.

    The samples try to avoid the use of third party libraries just to remain simple.
