#nstimer

So my second week has come to an end, and I am so incredibly proud of the product I have managed to build this week.  The art and sound is certainly some of the best I’ve done, and I am excited at the thought of coming back to this project down the road.  It has so much potential and is so well organized that I am delighted at the thought of returning to it.

Also, for anyone who is working with swift it is so very, very CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO INVALIDATE NSTIMERS BEFORE TRANSITIONING SCENES.  Within about fifteen minutes of just letting my game run the fps dropped from 40 to 0.5 and it was taking over 3 GB of memory.  THAT IS NOT NORMAL.

Well I’m gonna submit now and then pull my next genre.

How do I use an NSTimer? Can anyone give me step by step instructions?

Answer: How do I use NSTimer?

Something like this:

NSTimer *timer; timer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval: 0.5 target: self selector: @selector(handleTimer:) userInfo: nil repeats: YES];

Don't forget that NSTimer retains its target, meaning you're going to be introducing a retain cycle if your NSTimer's target is also the object that retains the NSTimer. You can get around this by creating a proxy delegate object which holds a weak reference to the real target object, as suggested in this Stack Overflow answer:

@interface TMWeakTimerTarget : NSObject - (instancetype)initWithTarget:(id)target selector:(SEL)selector; - (void)timerDidFire:(NSTimer *)timer; @end @interface TMWeakTimerTarget() @property (nonatomic, weak) id target; @property (nonatomic) SEL selector; @end @implementation TMWeakTimerTarget #pragma mark - Initialization - (instancetype)initWithTarget:(id)target selector:(SEL)selector { if (self = [super init]) { _target = target; _selector = selector; } return self; } - (id)init { return [self initWithTarget:nil selector:nil]; } #pragma mark - TMWeakTimerTarget - (void)timerDidFire:(NSTimer *)timer { if (self.target) { // `performSelector:` would generate a potential leak warning (http://stackoverflow.com/a/7073761/503916) objc_msgSend(self.target, self.selector); } else { [timer invalidate]; } } @end

Then you can create a nice category on NSTimer to make it really easy to leverage this new class:

常に、秒単位で全セルの中身を更新するので、できるのか？とまず思いました。

あと ・常に全セルを再表示ってのはエコじゃない ・スクロール時にtimerが止まる とか、そういう問題もあるんですね。

「Cellの表示と更新を分ける」、など助かる記述がいっぱい！ http://ios-practice.readthedocs.org/en/latest/docs/tableview/

When working with NSTimers that should update certain stuff in the UI, don't forget to add your timer to the corresponding NSRunLoop mode:

NSRunLoop *runloop = [NSRunLoop currentRunLoop]; [runloop addTimer:self.frameTimer forMode:NSRunLoopCommonModes]; [runloop addTimer:self.frameTimer forMode:UITrackingRunLoopMode];

Supposing you have a UIViewController, where you are currently having NSTimer actions going on repeatedly.

Now, if a User starts to scroll inside a UIScrollView then the NSTimer actions would be paused.

This is the default behaviour of iOS sdk. To prevent this from happening, use the following code : 

[[NSRunLoop mainRunLoop] addTimer:timer forMode:NSRunLoopCommonModes];

This adds the Timer to the main NSRunLoop so as to never stop/pause from executing.
