Question

So I have setup my UILabel, but when I set the text in my game loop to a string that is the score (so the Text is reset every loop) my app crashes.

This is the error I get:

0x15560b0: cmpl (%eax), %ecx Thread 1

The Breakpoint says this:

EXC_BAD_ACCESS(code=1, address=0x67b30064

Here is how I am setting up my UILabel (in my init method) :

//SET UP THE SCORE LABEL HERE
scoreLabel = [[UILabel alloc] init];
scoreString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", score];
[scoreLabel setFont: [UIFont fontWithName: @"TimesNewRoman" size: 10.0f]];
[scoreLabel setFrame: CGRectMake(262, 250, 100, 40)];
[scoreLabel setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
[scoreLabel setTextColor: [UIColor clearColor]];
[scoreLabel setTextColor: [UIColor whiteColor]];
scoreLabel.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(89.53);
[self addSubview: scoreLabel];
//[scoreLabel setText: scoreString];

Thank You!

Answer 1

//in your .h file
UILabel *scoreLabel;
NSString *scoreString;


//in your .m file    
//SET UP THE SCORE LABEL HERE 
scoreLabel = [[UILabel alloc] init];
 [scoreLabel setFont: [UIFont fontWithName: @"TimesNewRoman" size: 10.0f]];
 [scoreLabel setFrame: CGRectMake(262, 250, 100, 40)];
 [scoreLabel setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
 [scoreLabel setTextColor: [UIColor clearColor]];
 [scoreLabel setTextColor: [UIColor whiteColor]];
 scoreLabel.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(89.53);
 [self addSubview: scoreLabel]; 


//In your update method
 scoreString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", score];
scoreLabel.text = scoreString;
