Question

Is it possible to take data we get from GameCenter and create our own skin for it?

If so where can I access all the data we receive? The important data I want is current matches, everything else is not a big deal to me. Can anyone help?!

Answer 1

These should get you going:

[GKTurnBasedMatch loadMatchesWithCompletionHandler:(void (^)(NSArray *matches, NSError *error))completionHandler];

[GKTurnBasedMatch loadMatchDataWithCompletionHandler:(void (^)(NSData *matchData, NSError *error))completionHandler];

Edit:

It would take a very long post to explain the whole process step by step, but here is the main idea:

[GKTurnBasedMatch loadMatchesWithCompletionHandler:(void (^)(NSArray *matches, NSError *error)){ 

for (GKTurnBasedMatch *myMatch in matches) {

// update your UI depending on the games. Below is just an example.. This part is up to you - update a tableView, manage a view etc..

int k = 0; // will hold the number of active players still in the game
for (GKTurnBasedParticipant *part in myMatch.participants) {

if(participant.matchOutcome != GKTurnBasedMatchOutcomeQuit){
k++;
}

}

if ([myMatch.currentParticipant.playerID isEqualToString [GKPlayer localPlayer].playerID]) {
//our turn

if (k<2) { //there are less than 2 active players - end game if it's your turn etc...

//end turn depending on your turn.
return;
}

//update your UI for that match..


} else { //not your turn

//update your UI - goes to their turn section for example

}

}


}];

Again I just wrote all of this from the top of my head so I’m sure there are mistakes but thats the main route you want to take. You want to get a list of your current matches – and list them according to whose turn it is or if the game is ended and other things.
