Added Spark to my iOS engine

I have replaced my old particle system engine with spark in my game engine..

The engine uses OpenGL ES 2.0 programmable pipeline. A part of the engine has been recently released under GPL license with some tutorials can be found here:

Below the official web site of my iOS game where u can find screen shots showing Spark in action ( explosion & smoke)

Nice game, even though I don't have a smartphone personally!

Nice, I dont have an iphone myself either, so I wont be able to try unfortunately.
btw, Abdallah I think we met before for an interview in Paris

thx darktib & Juff .. I am little bit disappointed bcoz you cant test... No problem

@Juff, First I didnt understand when you said that we have already meet before.. but yes after searching I found your real name 'julien ' , this was not enough for me because in the interview you were two against me

So finally I found an old website where there is a photo for you:)

That's cool I am really happy that we meet here in the forum, thanks for Spark, its really a good, clean and well documented API and easy to integrate in my engine ( I found some suggestions that I can share if you plan any future release...

Thanks

Sure, I m always happy to receive suggestions to improve spark !

But if you used the first version, know that it is quite old and not maintained anymore as a new version 2.0 is on its way which is far better (SPARK 2 is downloadable from the SVN).
However as I dont have that much personal programming spare time, it is somehow freezed at the moment. But it will eventually be released for sure one day.

Ok good news to see that there will be a new version. I will checkout. thank you !!!

How did you get Spark to compile for iOS, when I ported it. I get an exception (BAD_ACCESS) from the dynamic_cast call in SPK_copy?
Thanks.

I really dont remember if I have this kind of issues when integrating spark. maybe we dont have the same library version or xcode/compiler version..

if I understand well, u managed to get the library to compile but u got a run time error?

If you want I can check just give me more information on the error.

Thanks

Concerning the dynamic_cast problem you wrote ... I think you should use static_cast instead of dynamic_cast on mobile devices anyways because of performance.
For example the android compiler for c++ has no dynamic_cast support. There you have to use own flags when you have unknown types of classes when you needed but I also just uses static_cast because of well software architecture .

Maybe SPARK doesn't require dynamic_cast in practice but I will check this out following weeks where I will deal with integrating SPARK to my cross platform engine.
