Question

I have code that when a user hits the end of the game, it prompts them if the would like to play again:

-(void)showAlert
{
    UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@" B U S T E D ! " 
                                                    message:@"Sorry, you busted!\n\nWant to try your luck 1 More Time! ?" 
                                                   delegate:self
                                          cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel" 
                                          otherButtonTitles:@"New Game", nil];
    [alert show];
    [alert release];
}


- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)actionSheet clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {
    // the user clicked one of the OK/Cancel buttons
    if (buttonIndex == 0)
    {
        //here is where we can close it
    }
    if (buttonIndex == 1)
    {
        [self createNewGame];
    }
}

Now I want to also do a check when a user first starts the app to see if a prior game file exists and if so ask if they want to continue. I know I can do via:

-(void)priorGameExists
{
    UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@" Previous Game Exists ! " 
                                                    message:@"A previous game currently exists.  Would you like to resume that game?" 
                                                   delegate:self
                                          cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel" 
                                          otherButtonTitles:@"Resumse", nil];
    [alert show];
    [alert release];
}   

But how do I have it go to a new “custom” clickedButtonAtIndex? Am I correct in assuming it has something to do with setting a different delegate? And if so, how would I do that?

You don’t necessarily need a different delegate. Read my answer to this question:
