I am preparing a lite version of AbstractWar 2.0.

You need to install iOS4.0 to play it.

I have programmed a array class in objective-c like NSArray, but it’s much faster.

It’s based in a simple c array but you can manger it easily thanks to a nice interface same that NSArray.

There are two ways to read the array

1. First. This is the faster way, very useful to games. It’s much faster than NSArray.


ccArray *arrayData = array->data;
id object;
int nu = arrayData->num;
for(i=0; i object = arrayData->arr[i];
//Do something
}


2. Second. This is the usability way, but it is slower that the first way. Anyway it’s faster than NSArray.


for(id object in array){ //CCArray
//Do something
}


Currently Cocos2d uses CCArray.

You can download the code here:
